Get matched with top gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape pros in Duvall, WA

"Steve came out to my property a few times to talk over the project of clearing, grading, and filling a new driveway. He worked with me on what made the most sense for the final project details. Steve and his crew made very quick work installing the new driveway with a very clean and professional finish. I am ecstatic over how this project went. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking to get things done and I will absolutely be giving Steve a call in the future for any similar projects."

"I recently hired Versant Excavation for a landscaping project, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. They left the site clean and organized, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Versant Excavation for any landscaping needs. Their expertise and commitment to quality made the whole experience seamless, and the end result has really enhanced the beauty of my property."

"Water used to flow out of our field, down our driveway and next to the house during the rainy winter months. Dillon and team came out to install a French drain the length of the drive and a drain pipe under it to the other side, where the water would naturally flow down the other field to the creek. Even though the outflow drain is higher than the lowest point of the drive's French drain, Dillon knew exactly how to install the pipes. Dillon was extremely knowledgeable, transparent in fair costs and time, excellent with communication, and his crew was quick, nice and amazingly skilled with a backhoe. Since the rains started up, our constant water flow is now wonderfully pouring out the pipe exit and away from the driveway and house. Absolutely worth it and I highly recommend In Depth Excavation."

"Reached out to Dirt Pros for a fence quote.  Erik called back right after I hit his voicemail and advised me he was booked solid, even to the point of not being willing to give an estimate for future work (I'm in no particular rush, I just want to get quotes in to compare numbers and start budgeting).  Polite, but I compare his reaction to a samurai blade cutting through some bamboo. 

I can appreciate business overflow so I don't hold that against him.  Every company seems to be swamped with these requests before the winter time.

My feedback, and I share it to help Erik rather than harm him, is that if a customer just wants an estimate and they understand the actual work won't be done soon, find a way to accommodate the customer no matter how busy you might be.  Even if that means you go outside of business hours or something.   Why?

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

EDIT: And I can appreciate the response.  My rebuttal to this is:

For materials/fuel, if I know that a product/service will cost me, say, $1,000 today, and I don't plan on doing the work anyway for 6 months and the quote is valid for 30 days, that's fine.  I can pad the number myself to get to an approximate figure, if the company is not willing to honor a cost beyond the 30 days.  I wouldn't budget $1,000, I would budget, say, $1,500.  If materials swell beyond a 50% increase, well, it's time to find another provider, because that's ridiculous.  

Near the time I want the work done, I would then ask for an updated quote and a walkthrough to make sure that the price has not dramatically shifted outside of my expected budget.  But I need to know in advance how much I should set aside for the future work with at least a ballpark.  Also I want to get on a calendar in advance rather than last minute, because I know people are calling like crazy to get on the books.  Providers that only care about the next 30-60 days are shooting themselves in the foot, because come winter time there won't BE any business without a proper pipeline.

If the provider is literally right down the road (as this provider happens to be), I do not expect substantial fuel charges or changes in the quoted fuel charges.  Why?  Because by and large the distance won't have changed nor will the scope of fuel usage.  If the provider is charging me fuel based on a round robin route that involves other customers, well, that's not really fair.  I know that their tools will use fuel, but it's a one-time visit, not recurrent.  If the price of gas today is $3/gallon, quote me an extra $5 and be done with it, which should be more than enough to cover all needed tools for my work plus the gas used to get here (because you're right down the road).

I've done business with contractors that have honored the same fuel rate months after the fact because the distance has not changed."

"I would highly recommend A Plus Dirt Works Excavation, LLC. Their customer service and communication response time was incredible, the scheduling was easy, their scheduling availability was excellent, and their work was absolutely superb!! We will definitely hire them again in the future. Kristina Montgomery"

"The people we dealt with at NW Patio Design were Steven Higa, the designer and estimator, Ray Lopez the GM, and Fernando and Juan, who lead the install crew. Steven is really good at integrating a lot of ideas and he came up with a nice design that reflected our vision. He also stayed in contact with us and the crew throughout the installation process, even coming by the site several times, which we really appreciated since he was the one who we talked to the most about what we wanted beforehand. Ray is the GM and he is extremely responsive. Did the project go without a hitch? No. But what large project does? Any time we had any concerns about anything or if it looked like a small detail might fall through the cracks, I called Ray and he dealt with it immediately. He also came out to our site a few times as the job progressed and for a final walk-through to be sure every detail was taken care of. Fernando and Juan lead an extremely hard-working crew who were very gracious about me bothering them all the time to ensure everything was getting done as we hoped. The final result is a jaw-dropping patio that just looks great. It could be on the cover of a magazine it looks so gorgeous. It was a lot of money but I do feel we got more than our money's worth and we will be enjoying that patio for a good long time. We will be calling NW Patio to come back next year to give the same professional treatment to the walkways leading up to our house as well. They are top notch."

"It went very well since Francisco suggested cutting down my weeds."

"Excellent job! 2 men from Pro Curb Appeal spread a 15 yard pile of bark we had delivered. It was a hot day but they worked hard for 4 hours and finished the job. I will be calling Pro Curb Appeal for future landscaping projects. Very satisfied and grateful that I didn't have to spread the bark. Money well spent"
