Jay was great to work with. He was very professional, and went the extra mile with taking care of this massive maple stump! Would highly recommend working with Jay!

I highly recommend hiring Jay. We contacted him for a quote to grind five stumps in our yard, and he was able to give us a reasonable price just by viewing some photos. He came out the following week and completed the work in just about 2 hours. Professional, fast, and friendly. A great experience!

I cannot say enough about the amazing service performed by Jay! He completed a beautiful stone walkway for me and excavated large shrubs on my property but most recently he laid a concrete pad. He is efficient and meticulous with his work. Jay is honest and very reasonably priced! I highly recommend J.L. Smith Excavating!
