## The honest read

In a November 2023 Google review, a customer wrote that what began as a request to get them started with a driveway quickly turned into a septic system, a well and a landing pad for a cabin they had just found. The reviewer wrote that Jason and Olivia rolled with the changes, coordinated the various jobs and handled it quickly and competently.

Homsted Earthworks, at 321 Bangor Rd in Ellsworth, holds 23 Google ratings averaging 4.8 stars, with written reviews from 2022 to 2024. In a May 2023 review, a customer wrote that they called at 11am for a loam delivery and it was on the ground at 1pm. Another May 2023 customer ordered a yard of crushed rock around 9:30 in the morning and wrote that Steve delivered it by 11 am. In an April 2022 review, a customer wrote that they had waited about a week for others to deliver gravel the previous fall, and that Homsted delivered the same day.

In October 2023 a customer gave one star after ordering a 16 yard load for a gravel RV setting and parking area. The reviewer wrote that they had asked the owner for gravel or crushed rock no less than 1 inch in diameter, received a load of sand with very little rock in it, and that the person on the phone blew them off when they called. The reviewer believed the load was probably only 10-12 yards instead of 16, and wrote that they spent $500.

**Strengths:**
- Site work — 2023 driveway grew into septic, well and cabin pad
- Quick deliveries — loam on the ground two hours after a 2023 call
- Same-day gravel — delivered the day of the call, April 2022

**Concerns:**
- Wrong material — October 2023 gravel order arrived as sand with little rock
- Short load — reviewer estimated 10-12 yards of a 16 yard order
