Littleton Earthworks, LLC

We met the contractor in the spring for him to survey the job and provide an estimate. He was highly recommended by others in our neighborhood. He provided an estimate but was unable to predict precisely when he would be able to do the job; he indicated a wait of about 4 months. We decided to wait for him because he had been highly recommended. Over the next few months, our area received a lot of rain, which delayed the project further but it was not especially urgent for us, so we waited. Eventually, the contractor started the job in late August. His crew was dilgent and professional. They were well equipped with the appropriate machinery and equipment and completed the job to a very high standard in slightly over 2 weeks. We are delighted with the results, which have transformed the appearance of our house. Overall, the job represents extremely good value.

Dan of Littleton Earthworks just wrapped up Phase 2 of a huge landscaping project at my home. After 25 years of living here, everything was overgrown, worn out and basically in need of a major overhaul. I dreamed of a refreshing, energizing and clean outdoor palette of beauty that would capture each of our four seasons' dimensions. Dream is now reality. This phase included tree removal & pruning, stone wall rebuild, patio and walkway installation, irrigation system, over 15,000 sq feet of sod grass, way too many new plantings for me to count, and landscape lighting. To say the final outcome is gorgeous and beyond my expectations is an understatement. Everything was beautifully designed and executed, and WITHIN BUDGET! What sets Dan apart is his attention to the tiniest of details. He doesn't just create a beautiful outdoor living space, he attends to all the unseen details that ensure this new space will function properly and perfectly while we sit back and enjoy the gorgeous new views. His enthusiasm as he executes the plan is so refreshing. And, he takes ownership of all the people needed to get the job done; with my own demanding job, that was a huge win for me. Lastly, the extremely detailed cost estimate Dan provides for each project, and then the actual final invoice is something I have never been provided from any other service provider. Each line item is tracked to arrive at the final cost, showing exactly where the project was under- on- or over-estimate. There is one phase remaining in my major yard overhaul. I look forward to working with Dan in 2019 to complete the 360-renovation. Without exception or the slightest of reservation, I highly recommend Dan of Littleton Earthworks. Thank you, Littleton Earthworks!

The look of the finished result was even better than I had hoped. While not the lowest cost estimate we received, I believe you get what you pay for in this instance. It began with plenty of positive references on Angie's List, a prompt response from the owner Dan, and continued with a very detailed printed estimate, follow-through on the scheduled start date that worked with our specific timing considerations, daily updates, and an end product that improved on the previous design and the overall look of the space. Although I know nothing about landscaping, Dan gave me the impression that he was committed to doing the job right, for long term quality and function. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

All work and costs were explained in detail. Excellent design and meticulous work. These guys don't cut corners and it shows in the results.

My yard was nothing but scrub trees, roots, rocks, a badly placed stone wall and old tree stumps - a haven for woodchucks and almost too difficult to mow - coupled with poor drainage and a badly deteriorated front step. The work that Dan, his crew and subcontractors accomplished in just a couple weeks is unbelievable. While always professional, hard working, and "no nonsense" while on the job, they were also always very pleasant and easy to talk to. Dan was personally on site to direct and/or participate in every aspect of the project. They removed several dangerous trees and tree stumps, a truck load of boulders, excavated the woodchuck burrow, replaced the badly deteriorated front step with beautiful bluestone, and regraded and filled the front and side yard areas to resolved serious drainage issues to preserve the home before installing the new lawn and plantings. The end result is a true transformation. Dan is an artist when it comes to landscape design, from selection and placement of each plant set off by gorgeous stones, an outer farmer's wall to define the front line, beautiful new trees, and a flower garden that is a balm to my soul. He was sensitive to relocate and use existing plants that had special meaning to me. He is responsive to my questions, has guided me in proper lawn and garden care and returns to check on how the lawn and plants are doing. No one can control the weather, but Dan is there for the long term to make sure the end result is beautiful. His pricing is detailed, transparent and fair. He explains every item carefully both before the contract is signed and after the work is completed. The only slight negative is that because he is so good and in demand, one may have to wait awhile for work to begin - but the wait is worth it. I definitely plan on using him again.
