Rivards Earthworks, Inc.

As the other reviews state, Mark is a great guy and obviously knows what he is doing. We have done 7 large projects on our house since buying it 5 years ago and he is one if the best people I have dealt with. Highly recommend.

I called Mark (the owner) to excavate our backyard to sub grade and fill in a hole where the existing pool use to be and he was enthusiastic, very professional, knowledgeable and fair. When he started the work, right away I knew this was the guy for the job. Not only was he prompt and easy to work with. He came out and did the work above and beyond our expectations. Mark is a great guy to work with, his work is top notch and pricing is fair for what he can do. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of work!

I called Mark based on the other review. We needed a hole dug in the backyard for a small lap pool. Mark was quick to return my initial call. He set up an appointment that had to be changed because of a problem at the out of town site he was at (not his problem, but required he stay there). He was apologetic and didn’t try to blow us off. The day of our appointment he was on time and very professional. After reviewing our needs and the location of the site he recommended an alternative method using another company. He even spoke to the other company and explained our needs! The second company will save us money with less risk to property. This was unexpected and really helped. Mark is very professional and knows his business. He could have charged us more or left us hanging. Instead he helped us. He is in my rolex for the future!

There is a reason you hire a professional. You want the job done right (the first time), you want a «can do» attitude, and most of all you don’t want to regret your decision in 6 months.
If you need a true professional to do serious excavation work, I strongly recommend Rivards Earth Works. Mark (the owner) shows up with professional clean equipment and a clear understanding of how to accomplish the task. In my case, I needed large holes dug for trees I intend to plant. some of these holes were in tight spaces. Mark had the expertise to extract the dirt (and rock) with minimum implact on surrounding landscape and hard scape. he loaded the dirt into his trailer and when he was done, swept any residue off the side walk. Mark understands how to do business the old fashioned way: make an agreement and live up to it. When I have my pool dug, I am only going to call one contractor. Hopefully he won’t be too busy.
