Revised Review: After thinking about my previous response and how upset I was with the outcome, I would like to revise my experience with Michael. It really comes down to Michael misunderstanding our site plans and landscape plans. I assumed after multiple meetings with him that it was a clear plan. My husband and I were not kept in the loop about what it would cost to fix the mistakes made by Michael and his team due to not following the plans. - We found our house pad was put in the wrong spot and pointing in the wrong direction. - The berm created was so much bigger than what we planned that it restricted our house to barely fit the setback requirements on the north side of the property. It also prevented us from having road access around the house to the back of the property. This was corrected by turning our home just enough for our cars to drive around the side, but at a cost. - Our driveway became longer than planned creating more cost to us for utilities and trenching. - We are now left with a dirt yard and a large dirt mound that well need to hang out with for sometime, till we have enough money to fix it. At the end of the day we just feel taken advantage of. Very sad but I learned my lesson to not assume anything.
Response from Company:
This customer started her project with a poor choice of location which required a large sub- excavation to get to original grade. The soils engineer required hand removal of all rocks over 4 dia. Or 100% import. Substantially cheaper to remove the rocks. First change order. Notice was provided with a rough estimate. Work was performed with no mark- up at cost. Then the customer wanted a berm with her extra dirt. The customer changed the skew of her lot pad. The customer added footings to our work quality. Then the customer wanted the berm moved. Rough estimate was given for all extra work and the amounts did not exceed the estimates .I perf

MW Sherwood is a very skilled, knowledgeable, timely and experienced professional that went above and beyond our expectations. Michael came in under the original quoted estimate. We had a pretty large driveway project, with a future need to add extra parking on the side of our shop and expand an area in the front of our shop. Michael with his imagination and expertise was able to complete the entire project and save us a lot of money. Michael and his assistant Jacob have our highest recommendations!

Working with Michael and his assistant on the excavation for my patio and pool was a great experience. Michael is a personable and caring guy and bent over backwards to get the job done to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone that needs excavation for their project.

Mike is a master at his trade craft! Just completed my French drainage across my 2 acre property into a retaining water pond. Quote was the best out of the group Angli recommended. Crew went to work with no issues and took the extra time to ensure areas of my land werenâ  t affected by their equipment. Mike got to know me as a costumer and threw in his ideas I never even thought about for my project. Mike went out of his way to maximize my budget and I am appreciative of that. Hands down if youâ  re looking for someone to do any ground work give this man an opportunity to get your a quote at least. And that quotes free as well.

These guys were great! They dug almost 800ft of trench so I could install electricity at my place. Mike knew exactly what the county was looking for, which was critical because I’m apparently terrible at reading directions ;) His advice made sure it was done right the first time. The price was fair, they took great care of me, and were a joy to work with. I’ll definitely hire them again!
