In a July 2025 Google review, a customer wrote that they asked Crane Hill Contracting to build an MX track on flat property, and Ben came with the right machinery and built over an acre of whoops, jumps, berms and straights. The Willimantic, Connecticut company says it specializes in excavation and forestry mulching, and its site lists towns including Mansfield, Bolton, Columbia, Coventry, Glastonbury, Hebron and Tolland. Google shows it at 5 stars from 7 ratings. In July 2025 another customer hired the company for a foundation excavation and wrote that Ben offered helpful suggestions about things they had not anticipated and finished the excavation in a timely manner. A 2022 customer with a very long driveway in terrible condition reached Ben, who came out within a day, gave multiple quotes, walked through what he would do and when, and had the regrade done in less than a week from first contact; the customer called the prices fair and noted he brought the garbage cans up from the curb after the site was cleaned. In a June 2025 review, a landowner described meadow edges grown in with Russian Olive, bittersweet, multiflora rose, grape vines and poison ivy about 15 feet tall. Tim from Crane Hill ground it all up in 2 days, matching the company's 2-day estimate, and the customer wrote that Tim has over 10 years of experience with the mulching equipment. In May 2026 a customer wrote that Ben and Tim cleared out overgrown back corrals and were careful to watch the dog fence wiring while churning the ground.
Ben and Tim knew exactly what we needed and more importantly had exactly the right tools for the job. They cleared out our back corrals that had overgrown and were careful to watch the dog fence wiring when churning the ground. Awesome experience, would hire again!
Amazing company to work with, professional, efficient (work took two days less than I thought- was awesome), and such a quality job. Will be using them again!!
Professional, efficient and friendly with high quality results.
We recently hired Crane Hill Contracting for our foundation excavation, and couldn't be happier with the results. Ben was incredibly professional, efficient, and understood exactly what we wanted while also offering helpful suggestions about things we didn't anticipate. Also the excavation work was completed in a timely manner. I highly recommend them for any excavating needs!"
We reached out to Crane Hill Contracting to build us a MX track. My husband grew up riding and it’s been a dream of his to have his own track. Ben made it a reality. The property was flat and lacked anything resembling a track. Ben was professional and came with the right machinery to do the work. Now we have over an acre of whoops, jumps, berms, and straights. The layout is well designed for safety and overall fun. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them.
