The patio stayed where it was. In a 2024 review, a customer said they expected to have their bluestone patio dug up, but Dave was able to leave it intact and work below while digging a trench for electrical work alongside their electrician — and that he improved a drainage problem they were having. Digging runs through the rest of it. A 2025 review says David installed a base to extend a driveway, and calls him always fair, and transparent. A 2023 review describes an in-ground propane tank, trench and landscaping, completed high quality by a great communicator. Google shows 5★ from 12 ratings. The jobs can run long. In a 2021 review, a customer said Dave helped with a project across several months that year — sometimes whole days, sometimes just a few hours — coordinating with masons and paving folks. Another 2021 review says he has done their snow ploughing for over 5 years, and had also helped with a bathroom in the basement and the kitchen, including installing a dish washer. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence 182197 is active on the state registry. For trench and site work around a yard you would rather not tear up — a driveway base, a propane tank, a drainage problem — that is the work these customers describe.
We have used Dave on many different projects over the years at our business and home. His commitment to excellence is unparalleled. Would highly recommend!
David did a great job installing a base to extend my driveway, and some other miscellaneous projects. Always fair, and transparent. Highly recommend.
Dave worked with our electrician to dig a trench for electrical work. His work was above and beyond our expectations. We expected to have our bluestone patio dug up but he was able to leave it intact and work below. He also improved a drainage problem we were having, doing it the "right way" and it's working great now! Dave is courteous and gives incredible service. Highly recommended.
Dave did a great job on the project (in-ground propane tank, trench and landscaping). The work completed high quality and he is a great communicator. Would recommend him for your project!
David's service is awesome and invaluable. Extremely helpful, efficient, and professional. David is also great with his multitasking skills, doing fantastic work on a project, while also managing to entertain my 4 legged security. Highly recommended.
