A.L.Bristol and Son's is a multigenerational, privately owned family business. The team is intelligent, meticulous, and skillful in all aspects of their design and the execution of the plan. Their work is without question done expertly with a perfect final product. The Bristol Family has integrity and a well founded reputation for custom work. I recommend A.L. Bristol and Sons with the highest regard.

Wonderful. They worked with the Town for all permitting and were prompt and professional every step of the way. They were incredibly responsive to my questions and left my yard looking better than before (after the grass seed they put down came in!)

A L Bristol and Sons always did a great job every day they were at my property. They were always on time and were diligent and accurat about the work the preformed. Lance wanted things to be done right the first time. He was very meticulous. He was always forthcoming with me and always did things exactly as he said he was going to and never cut corners. If anything he always went overboard to make sure it was perfect. His costs were always in line and he was more than far on prices about everything he did. I have never meet contractors that I would trust more than Lance and his sons. I have come to trust him and respect him for his honesty and accuracy. I will always use him for everything I need done that has to do with excavating, grading, foundation, sidewalks, patios, septic systems, and anything else they do in that respect for my home. His prices are spot on and always fair in my opinion when I am looking for quality work that I don't have to worry about or question.

We could not possibly be more thrilled with the job they did. Lance Bristol carefully listened to us when we described what we wanted, gave us wonderful ideas about how to improve our original plan, clearly communicated the time required for completion,  and also clearly communicated the eventual price of the job.  They were consistently professional in all ways, from showing up every day to being available to speak to at any time. We were especially impressed with Lances sons, Ben and Henry, who in two days excavated all the stone from the foundation and built the 200' wind row wall. Henry demonstrated great skill in carefully placing stones and arranging them in their optimal  location in the wind row. What they accomplished in two days is truly a work of art.   
   This transformation of our back yard is one of the best things, truly, that has happened to us here in South Hadley. What was once a nondescript area has become a jewel. I cannot tell you how many times our friends and neighbors have complimented us on the appearance of our yard. We could never have accomplished this dramatic improvement to the infrastructure of our property without AL Bristol and Sons. We are just very grateful that they were available to do this job for us.
