Verified record
A. Pyburn & Sons Inc., also listed as Arthur Pyburn & Sons, is a family-owned excavation, paving, and utility contractor in Rowley, Massachusetts. The Better Business Bureau lists it as a utility contractor incorporated in 1981 with three employees and Glen Pyburn as president, carrying an A+ grade without accreditation, while the company's own Angi and HomeAdvisor copy says the family has been at it since 1954. Its public-sector side is unusual for a small paving outfit: the MWRA voted to award it a community leak detection survey contract, and New Hampshire's Executive Council authorized a $117,600 contract for leak detection surveys at 39 community water systems. Homeowners who hired them between 2020 and 2022 describe driveway and site work done fast and cleanly, with Luke Pyburn as the point of contact. In a July 2022 Angi review, a customer had Luke, Josh, and Sean tie a house into Amesbury city sewer and water service and rough-cut a driveway entrance, on schedule and to a high standard. Two September 2020 reviewers described tearing out old asphalt, including one job that also demolished a retaining wall and built a new one, and having a new base and two layers of asphalt down within three days; a July 2020 customer with a long driveway and parking area said the crew came on the promised day, worked like crazy, and gave a competitive quote. Several reviewers mention the crew answering a stream of questions patiently and cleaning up well. One record is worth asking about. Violation Tracker lists a federal OSHA workplace safety or health violation against Arthur Pyburn & Sons, Inc. dated August 9, 2023, with a $6,564 penalty; the entry gives no detail on the finding. The written reviews also stop in mid-2022, so ask for references from more recent jobs. Pyburn fits a North Shore or Merrimack Valley homeowner replacing a driveway, adding a retaining wall, or connecting to municipal sewer and water who wants a small family crew that handles the excavation and the paving itself. Confirm the 2023 OSHA matter, get the base and asphalt specification in writing, and pin down the schedule.

Hired Luke Pyburn of Arthur Pyburn & Sons to tie into Amesbury city sewer and water service as well as rough cut a driveway entrance. Luke was always easy to communicate with, gave me a plan which his team (Luke, Josh, and Sean) executed on schedule and did a high quality job with attention to detail. Everyone worked hard and well together despite the 90+ degree hot weather. Final cleanup and temporary patching of street pavement and sidewalk was on point too. Highly recommend Luke, Josh, and Sean of Arthur Pyburn & Sons!
Luke and his crew did an amazing job on out new driveway. They really care about the end results of their work
Awesome to work with and a fantastic job!
Hard working and attention to detail.
These guys were amazing...From getting a reasonable quote with knowledgeable advice to the installation and cleanup. The crew worked like a well oiled machine and completed the job in less time then anticipate. They answered my zillion emails of questions, they were polite and kind to my kids while they watched.... I can't say enough about them. Great company. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them highly to anyone considering a paving project.
