First Class Hardscape and Excavation LLC lists septic services, hardscaping, excavation, drainage, hydroseeding and sod, and on-site material screening on its website. On a gravel driveway, a recent customer said Chase was very quick and efficient. A 2026 customer said Chase cleared a backyard of thorn bushes, dead trees and stones in one day, then coordinated the delivery of soil and hydroseeding. A 2025 customer said Chase leveled a spot on rock ledge for a shed and used large chunks of the ledge to reinforce the low end. That 2025 customer said a front walkway and a patio off the back porch, done a year later, have held up through hot and cold weather with no frost heaves. A 2025 customer said Chase was clear about the timeline from the start and kept them in the loop through a rain delay. A 2023 customer said Chase graded part of a yard to make room for a future fence. **Strengths:** - Septic tank replacement — a recent customer said lawn impact was minimal - One-day land clearing — a 2026 customer said the backyard was cleared in one day - Walkway and patio — a 2025 customer said both held up through hot and cold - A clear timeline — a 2025 customer said expectations were realistic from the start ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent customer said Chase replaced a septic tank with minimal impact to the lawn _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25GME1tbENaa3BMVDJVMkxWcDZPVEU0ZURSNk1tYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x27a7d682f49ced!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnF0MmlCZkpLT2U2LVp6OTE4eDR6Mmc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Chase provided a quick response to an unexpected septic system issue.
