Landscape Minor Grading or Resloping Service
Mr Ashby and his crew were very professional, provided prompt and affordable services. They performed grading and drainage work around the property extending downspouts, trenching, installing a french channel drain and a retaining wall. Additionally, they removed a dead tree and some shrubs/bushes.

Was not normal excavation job; Richard Ashby dug a "grave" for 20 plus large Koi fish. Got the hole dug, fish buried and smoothed over the dirt. What Richard accomplished in 15 minutes would have taken me hours to do manually. As added bonus, he was able to clear area around perimeter fence. Was a job I planned to get done but hadn't set up yet. He saved me over $100 by getting the clearing done while his excavator was on site. I plan to hire him again whenever I need growth around fence cleared

I hired Ashby to remove rocks. He called asap and came the next day. Gave me his recommendation for also grading the area. Absolutely happy with the job he did. Would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Performed exactly what I needed to be done. He cleared out a wooded area expertly. He then placed 4"X4"X12' timbers and filled in with rock he had delivered. He then leveled the project. When the team came to install the shed they commented on the area that he had done that it was level and well built. Ashby had more rock than needed deliverer so he used his grader to smooth out the rocks for my son's parking spot on the shoulder of the road. This was done on his own not me asking it to be done. Ashby performed above and beyond what I asked him to do. He was the right man and price for the job.
