Sterling Environmental Services, LLC
Sterling Environmental Services, LLC
It's true: A fuel tank will eventually corrode and leak. If you encounter a tank that is more than 15 years old, there is a good chance that substantial corrosion has taken place. Trust that Sterling will remove your tank with the utmost care for your property and will create a safe environment for your family. Call Sterling Environmental Services today!
"Sterlington Environmental removed my "ready to leak" 60 year old in-basement oil tank and replaced it with a clean, modern Roth tank in about half a day. This is an inherently messy job and they did it quickly and efficiently while paying attention to the rest of my home. The entrance to my basement is through the house and they laid down protective materials to protect my floors and were very careful not to damage anything or spill oil as they worked and moved materials, tools and supplies in and out of the basement. They also handled all the permitting and inspections. I hope to never have to do this again, but if I do, I will call Sterling to do the job. "

"I had an outstanding experience working with Zach and Breaking Ground Earthworks! Zach handled a big job for us—removing old retaining walls, regrading the slope of our yard, prepping the area for new landscaping, and replacing an outdated drainage system. He also took care of a few stubborn stumps left behind from previous tree removals. His work was not only thorough and precise, but he was also professional, efficient, and clearly very experienced. The site was always left clean and organized, and communication throughout the project was excellent. I was impressed with the transformation and the quality of Zach’s work. Highly recommend him for any excavation or site prep needs—you’ll be in great hands!"

"Conti Landscaping did an amazing job from start to finish. I was contacted almost immediately after putting in my request for the sod installation for my front yard and Chris came out to take a look the next day. His pricing was very fair compared to some other landscapers in the area, and he was able to do the work within a week of us meeting. He was very communicative as to how he wanted to complete the project and what days he was available to do so. Chris and his team showed up on time both days to complete the sod installation at my home and it looks great. Everyone was kind, knowledgeable, and did a great job. I would absolutely hire Conti Landscaping again for any future needs at my home!"

"I hired Art to help level out my backyard, and unfortunately, I had a really disappointing experience. He started the job but left it incomplete and in worse shape than when he began. The yard was left uneven and messy, with piles of dirt scattered around and no clear plan for finishing. Communication was poor throughout, and despite several follow-ups, he never returned to complete the work. I regret hiring him and wouldn?t recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable or thorough job. "
