A recent customer says Dave replaced a culvert, fixed up the driveway and did some extra grading that was not part of the plan. A recent customer says Dave looked at a driveway and sent an estimate that came in slightly lower than other estimates. A 2025 customer wrote that Dave re-did a long driveway, graded it with clean edges, and came back to help with excavation around a septic tank. A recent customer hired Dave in fall 2025 to work alongside a well driller, building a road to the drill site and digging slurry pits and pipe trenches, and says he coordinated directly with the driller, reached back out in spring 2026 to schedule another trench to finish the well hook-up, and cleaned up the hillside once the well work was complete. A recent customer had Dave excavate and compact a foundation for 2 separate areas on the property. A recent customer says E&S Landworks did a French drain with attention to detail every step of the way. A 2026 customer wrote that Dave used a forestry mulcher to clear more than a third of an acre of brush and saplings to the ground in half a day. A 2025 customer wrote that Dave created a new access road and kept the work within budget. A 2025 customer said Dave installed a stone patio as a base for a storage container, and that the patio was level and solid. One recent customer says Dave did not try to rush them into having work done before it was needed, then stayed in touch, came when he said he would and finished on time. **Strengths:** - Driveway grading — a recent customer says extra grading was added on request - Well-site coordination — a recent customer says Dave worked directly with the driller - Brush clearing — a 2026 customer said a third-acre was mulched in half a day - Unhurried advice — a recent customer says he did not rush unneeded work ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The website describes a land and property maintenance company owned and operated by David Crothers in Waterbury, Vermont _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://eslandworks.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): E&S Landworks specializes in gravel driveway grading, maintenance, drainage and repair, forestry mulching a…” - A recent customer says Dave replaced a culvert, fixed the driveway and added extra grading on request _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tkSFJUUnpaM0ZsV2tWNWNFaDFMWFJJUTBZNU9FRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xbd5bdcea8ac1ac8c!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkdHRTRzZ3FlWkV5cEh1LXRIQ0Y5OEE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I couldn't be happier with the work Dave did for me.
