G. D. McCarthy works below grade — ledge and rock removal, drainage, demolition, grading and the underground utility work that goes with them, out of Needham. Its own site claims 18 years at it and a service area running through Needham, Newton, Wellesley, Natick, Weston, Dover, Medfield, Sherborn and Dedham; its BBB profile dates the business to 2009 and lists George D. McCarthy Jr. as owner, with one employee. Retaining walls and snow removal round out what the company offers. One thing to raise on the call: the company's Google listing carries a single rating, and it is one star. Ask directly what happened there. For a ledge, drainage or site-prep job around Needham, this is a specialist rather than a general landscaping crew. Before the machines arrive, get the scope and the dig plan in writing, confirm insurance limits for excavation work, and ask who will be running the equipment on your property.
