"I’ve worked with Red Rock Grade & Gravel on multiple projects and have always had a great experience. They’re dependable, show up when scheduled, communicate well, and produce quality work. Their pricing is fair, they’re knowledgeable, and they take pride in doing the job right. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for excavation or grading services."

As a local member of the community, I have been in the construction industry for just over 10 years. With experience ranging from general construction needs, to light electrical, and plumbing I have the knowledge it takes to complete a job on time and with excellent quality. \n\nWhy pay more for a large contractor to provide you a simple service when you can save money and have some peace of mind knowing a local member of the community is taking care of your needs and providing exactly what you need.

"Totally Excellent! Jon and the Crew at ERE flattened out about a 1 acre square of my property (future building site) Perfectly! And it was a gnarly pit to start with full of boulders and old items like water heaters and car fenders as it was evidently a dump site for the neighborhood before I got here. Finished the project quickly and to my complete satisfaction, I recommend ERE to Everyone for your next Excavation project, big or small Jon can handle em All!"
