"Contractor sent person to provide estimate which initially came out to $5400 with my Angie's list discount of $500. Young man providing estimate called owner and confirmed price. As he was preparing to leave he said he needed to recheck his measurements and told me he miscalculated and the actual cost of the job would be much higher. Long story short the new price was $6000. So much for the discount. I was told that the owner would reach out to me and unfortunately that never happened until a week later and one day before I hired Pro Pave to complete my paving job. I will be doing a review on Pro Pave who did a timely and excellent jod and are also recommended by Angie's List. As per Road Tech Paving please beware of this company and their poor business practices. I'm surprised that Angie's List recommends them ~ I certainly wouldn't."

Family owned Dirt moving, specialty is laser leveling. House pads. Roads built and maintained. Can also do junk and trash removal. Tree removal and tree trimming. Size of tree doesn’t matter.

"Fantastic! Right from the start Mr Perry laid out steps he would be taking, in getting a level, structured pasture. He would always call ahead to check if access to the property. My soil was like concrete. He would work the soil repeadily over a few months. When he decided the soil was ready, he waited for the best planting time(no frosts). He leveled the pasture with precion. Then planted the seed. I just irrigated the pasture today. The water flowed on a perfect flat flow! The work he accomplished was perfect. He is honest, straight forward, and highly knowledgeable."
