An eleven-ton boulder, a larger second boulder and a rising ledge were the obstacles one homeowner hired Blast-Tech Drilling & Blasting to tackle. In a September 2026 Google review, the customer said Tim, his sons and Kurt split the boulders and lowered the ledge below grade so the driveway could make grade. Blast-Tech describes itself as a family-run blasting company in Phillipston, Massachusetts, and says it has been in business for 32 years. The homeowner described a written fixed price honored to the penny. The final handwritten timesheet matched the original quote, the splitter line carried no charge, and the customer said Tim billed fewer machine days than he spent there. When a drill bit jammed deep in the stone, he returned with the right machine to free it. His son discovered that the second boulder extended beneath the deck, and the crew told the homeowner about it. The customer said the crew stacked the split rock as usable wall stone and leveled the work area before leaving.
Tim and his crew — his sons and Kurt — split an eleven-ton boulder in my yard, then its bigger sister, then trimmed a rising ledge down below grade so my driveway could finally make grade. Fixed price, in writing, honored to the penny: the handwritten timesheet at the end matched the quote from day one, he charged nothing for the splitter line, and he billed fewer machine days than he actually spent here — equipment prepositioned Friday evening, a full Saturday worked, never billed the difference. When a drill bit jammed deep in the stone, he came back with the right machine and freed it. When the second boulder turned out to extend under my deck, his son found it and they told me straight instead of burying the surprise. They left every split rock stacked as usable wall stone — a mountain of it — and leveled the work area before driving off. Hardworking family outfit, no drama, no games with the number. If there is rock in your ground, call them.
