Excavation Major Grading or Resloping
We have 2 lots, and we hired the company to remove the trees, clear the lots, and do the grading. He graded the first lot but did not finish cleaning up the debris as promised. On the second lot, we paid a 50% down payment on 10/05/2022 and he said he would start the job in 2 weeks. After several lies and excuses, after 2 months he started the job. When he started removing the trees in the second lot, one of the trees fell on the neighbos property, almost hitting his deck. The Neighbors called the county. Because he was inside the buffer area on the first lot with a big machine and the tree fell on the second lot inside the buffer as well, the inspector put a stop work order on both lots and gave us a very high fine. Also, he left the street with a lot of mud. The neighbors called the county and left several complaints about it. The inspector called and asked us to clean it up and we had to pay a fine per day until it was cleaned. We called the company owner and after a lot of excuses we had to spend a whole day washing the street. We paid in full for the first job (which he has not finished) and a 50% down payment for the second job. Now the company owner is saying he will not finish the job in any of the lots and will not refund the payment we made. Now we need to pay the fines, and we need to hire another company to do it.
Response from Patriot Grading and Excavating
"It rained. They did not pull a permit, so the county fined them. I am not the builder that pulls the permit, they are. They specifically told me to remove the tree in the buffer zone and they even held a payment of $4,000+ from me until I did it. I was also told the county guy told them to have it moved. The mud was put on the street by a dump truck driver they hired. We never touched the street with a machine. I also placed a machine on-site, free of charge for an entire day to move the dirt their dump truck driver was bringing. I have finished the first job 100% and I will not go back to finish the second job. The reason is they have no structured plans to go by and they blame us for their shortcomings as builders. I finished well over 50% of the second job and gave them an entire day free to try to help out with moving dirt. So now their fines are my fault. Unbelievable the way people are these days. Amazing how we have 5-star reviews and someone who shouldn't be a builder can go on here and give us a bad review. Ignorance is no excuse for integrity."

Excavation Major Grading or Resloping
Gave a deposit of $8500 and after 2 no shows fired. Brodie Allred promised return of deposit but after 4 months none of the promises have been kept. They spent our $ within 1 week of receipt. Brodie has yet to have a conversation with me, and his wife Debbie has only lied and made false promises. Buyer beware!
Response from Patriot Grading and Excavating
"2 no shows are a lie. Did not show up on a Saturday (Because it was raining). Was on my way to the property after 5 site visits, several changes, putting other jobs on the backburner (And losing them by the way because I was trying to help out), hours of my time wasted, and fuel wasted from trips to the site and they canceled on me. You tell me who the liar is? Contractor beware!"

Demolition
Very dependable, detailed, reliable, in-depth, high performing company. The cost of this demolition project was very fair and the owner, Brodie Allred, and his work partner, completed a complex job in a decently short time period. High quality work at a very decent price. Loved using this company. Will definitely use them again for an applicable job. Highly recommend using Patriot Grading.

Excavation Major Grading or Resloping
Our project involved a collapsed culvert that completely blocked access to our property - hence our sense of urgency. Brodie and team were very responsive to our request, and quickly developed a workable plan where other contractors could not. Complicating factors for this project included hard-to-find equipment and materials due to recent storms, no cell service at our location, and live exposed electrical and telecommunication utilities in the direct path of needed excavation. The project was completed to our satisfaction, including some nice detail work involving re-installation of our gate, removal of dead trees, re-crowning our road for better water run-off, and spreading grass seed to prevent erosion afterwards. Nice job!
Response from Patriot Grading and Excavating
"Thanks for the kind words, Stan! We are glad we could help you out of a tough situation and get you access to your house!"
