Earth Works

Earth Works is a North Andover excavation and landscape-construction outfit run by Dan — family-owned and owner-operated, according to its own site, which traces the business back to 1999 and describes 27 years of excavation expertise; the Better Business Bureau lists it as started in 1999 with about 6 employees. The work spans site prep and grading, drainage, hardscaping, retaining walls and walkways, and design work, alongside commercial snow removal. Twenty-one Google reviews between 2023 and January 2026 are all 5★, and several describe specific, sizable jobs rather than a quick once-over: a full driveway and property-line buffer project that neighbors stopped by to compliment, front steps and a walkway rebuilt with new dry wells to fix a drainage problem, a pool demolition for an elderly parent, and a full outdoor landscape reworked with new pavers and a driveway that one customer called a large, involved job. A trench job and a backup-generator installation show the crew also handling straightforward site-utility work, not just landscaping. Several reviewers, including one who works as a Realtor and has seen multiple completed projects, specifically credit Dan's follow-through — showing up for a walkthrough before starting, keeping customers informed as work progressed, and cleaning up debris and repairing any lawn damage before calling a job done. Front-office staff Kayla and Kristen get named praise alongside Dan in more than one review — useful to know if you're coordinating scheduling. For a driveway, hardscape or larger excavation project, this reads like an owner-run crew worth calling directly to check current availability.
