Get matched with top building site preparation and clearing pros in Athol, MA

"We were having trouble with the melting snow and then rain water building up next to our foundation and knew we needed it fixed. We saw Echo Excavations signs locally so we decided it was time to call. Incredibly reasonable completion time and he has a mini excavator so he was able to do really precise work and you can tell he cares so much about what he does. He is already working on a second project for us to take down some trees and clear some land to open up our backyard for our two kids and are thrilled. My daughter loves when the owner Echo, comes with him she is the sweetest husky you will ever meet."

"Had David come in and do some grading and site prep for a concrete patio. Was prompt with his response and quote. Price was very affordable! Once we got it scheduled the crew got the work done quickly. Would highly recommend!!!"

"Dukes LLC is one of the finest companies Iâ ve had the pleasure of working with. We live in Belchertown and the sheer number of trees that have been coming down over the past few years has been astonishing - never something weâ d expected to see, although we live in a fairly wooded area. As a result, we hired Ben and his team to bring down an enormous split tree (probably close to 150 ft) that threatened our home around summer 2020. His team was able to take on the job within a week or two, were prompt and timely, and managed to have the entirety of the job done within two days. Ben was extremely responsive to calls and questions, and he and his team are super friendly, professional, and clearly experienced. In 2021, we had another tree that required removal and I was somewhat absent from the decision making regarding that one. Another company was hired to take it down, and I can say it was a nightmare. It took three months before anyone come by, and then - after starting the project - it took nearly a month before everything was resolved. In the meantime, we struggled almost daily to get them on the phone, and they even had the gall to request the remainder of their payment while leaving the job only half completed. So itâ s no wonder that when it became clear we had another severely dying tree - this time right near our home - we called Dukes. Ben showed up that same day to give us a proposal, and his team was back four days later to take care of the tree. They paid care to avoid our septic and water well, were right on time, and their teams were in and out all day until the job was done - less than 8 hours later. They took the tree down, ground the stump, put in loam, and even offered to grind out another stump we had in the front yard! Shout out to Travis, what a champ! Needless to say, we have nothing but glowing recommendations for Dukes, Ben and company - they more than deserve your business and they most certainly will not disappoint. Weâ re already planning our next projects with them now that we know they are also available for general landscaping services."

"Everything went wonderfully with this company.  They were very professional, listened to exactly what my problem was, and explained to me how they were going to diagnose the problem and/or solve it before doing any actual work.  Once they started, the team (three people came) worked together like a well-oiled machine.  One was in the room with diagnostics, one was at the fuse box looking for possible problems there, and the third went into the crawlspace beneath our house to look at the physical wiring.  Once the problem was found (there was a faulty wire beneath the house that had come loose from the junction box), it was fixed and tested within minutes and another full diagnostic was done to make sure there were no other possible issues.  They cleaned up after themselves very neatly.  They also replaced the light switch with a dimmer switch at no extra cost!  Well within my budget, and came in even lower than their original (FREE) estimate!  I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the Bergen County area.
