I hired Ben to excavate and install a patio in an area where we had a large pool removed. It was basically a gravel pit. He came right out to give me an estimate. I was first impressed with when I sent him a communication, he responded right back. When he performed the job, he did so in a very timely and professional manner. He had all the right material and equipment for the job, and strove for perfection in his work. The patio is gorgeous, strong, level, has a solid base, and will last for a lifetime of enjoyment. Do not hesitate to hire Ben! You won’t be disappointed!

Reviews
We hired Ben to lay down a gravel pad on a sloped area for a shed. He did a great job even in the middle of the summer heat! Thanks, Ben!
Ben installed a channel drain for me to route rainwater away from the house. He was very thorough and responsive, coming back a second time to reseal the drain after it rained. Highly recommend him for any projects. I will definitely hire him in the future for some land leveling work.
Ben assembled about 5 furniture items I needed done since moving almost 2 months ago. He was very fast and efficient, made sure things looked just how I wanted. Would highly recommend his services. :-)
Ben does great work and has reasonable prices. We had him excavate, level and spread gravel inan area for a new shed.
We hired Ben to level our backyard. It was a tough job to level the sloped backyard and he was very talented with his excavator. He leveled the land, delivered and laid the gravel, and sand. He was extremely reliable, got the best price for gravel and sand around. completed high quality work and was easy to communicate with! He sticks to his word and gave good suggestions and made sure everything was as we wanted it. We’ve already recommended him to friends. Thanks Ben!
We hired Ben to level our backyard for a patio. He was very talented with his excavator, which he was able to get through our small fence door. He leveled the land, delivered and laid the gravel and sand, and helped lay the first 3 rows of brick to teach us how to do it. He was extremely reliable, completed high quality work and was easy to communicate with! We would hire him again to help with other projects. Thanks Ben!
Would highly recommend Ben. He did an excellent job mounting two tv’s with sound bars. Very professional and responsive.
Ben was very friendly and responsive. He helped me install the glass door for the shower. The glass door is really really heavy so I was really concerned that he is coming alone and doing the job all by himself. But his price was irresistible and his availability also matches mine perfectly. Nonetheless, he showed up early and finished the job very nicely. He also cleaned up the dusts after he finished. I am very happy how it turned out. Highly recommend Ben.
I needed bookcase/shelves assembled & found Ben on Thumbtack. He answered my initial contact email fast. Ben communicated quickly, clearly and was able to fit me in the next day. Everything about this experience was smooth, professional & Ben had my shelves up & ready before I knew it. I’m very pleased with the job, the price and the man. He offers many other services. I’d highly recommend Ben to anyone. Thanks, Ben, great job!
