"13 Moons Grading team took our property by clearing out stumps and dead scrap trees left from clearing of the pines on the property. Then they enlarged an existing pond giving us a future great bass pond with several depth changes for staging bass. From the excavated soil from the pond they reshaping our land for proper drainage and prepared an area of a future home site. Fixed our entrance road smoothing it out. They meet all of our expectations and beyond and we will use them again and we highly recommend them for you projects."

"After a ridiculous estimate from a prior contractor, whom I fired, I called G&G and another local company. Both came out for estimates as scheduled. G&Gs estimate was a hair higher, but I felt more comfortable with them than the other company.
Amanda was easily reachable and everything was easily scheduled around my personal schedule.
The crew arrived early the day of the job and promptly began to work. They didn't mind at all that I watched, as I wanted to see the damaged plywood they'd be removing. The main roof was completed in a day. The sunroof roof and gutters were completed the next day. Due to weather, the shutters were installed on the third day. A few bits and pieces of the sunroof work were left behind, but nothing to complain about.
Although the other estimate for the main roof was a tad higher than the other company, the sunroom roof and gutter prices easily made up for it. They also sent out a guy to pressure wash the house after the work was complete....fabulous!!!
I look forward to working with them again on further projects...and highly recommend them to other Angie's List members.

"Ive had my driveway "fixed" by a couple of different companies over the years and it never lasted — washouts, ruts, standing water, the same problems creeping back within a season. Apex Earthworks actually diagnosed why it kept failing instead of just patching the surface again. They regraded it properly and addressed the drainage, not just the driveway itself. It's been solid through everything since, no ruts, no washouts, no puddles. What stood out most was that Gaige and his Crew clearly know what they're doing — this isn't guesswork, it's actual expertise in grading and drainage. They showed up when they said they would, and cleaned up the site when they were done. After years of paying other people to "fix" my driveway, it's a relief to have it actually done right the first time. I will recommend Apex Earthworks to everyone!! Thank you Gaige!! Your professionalism speaks volumes!!"
