Northeast Development is an excavation and yard site-work business. On Angi, the company describes itself as having 25 years of experience with gunite built-in pools, excavation, drainage, foundations, demolition, grading, and sewer and water installation. A 2025 customer said Northeast filled an old septic tank, graded the entire backyard, added a patio and front walkway, and finished with a new asphalt driveway on a property over an acre in size. A 2025 customer said Joe took on an excavation after they had gone 2 1/2 years without finding a contractor willing to do it, and that they then asked him to build a wall too. A 2024 customer said grading was done in the backyard for a new patio and a front walkway was added as well. A 2024 customer said the work was completed ahead of schedule. A 2025 customer said Joe, the owner, was always late by days, and that after a month a job he said would take four days was not half done, so they fired him. A 2025 customer with an expected three-day job said the company arrived at least three hours late every day, left broken pipe and sheetrock on site, destroyed the lawn and cracked the concrete driveway. A 2025 customer said they paid Joseph Garies in full for a bathroom remodel and veneer stone work at a BBQ area, and he did not show up on the days he promised. A 2024 customer said they paid Joe in full to excavate their property and he did not finish, and that after a $3,000 sump pump job there was still water near and around the pump. A 2024 customer called the basement work a hack job and said that after being paid, Joe sent them an insulting text.
Terrible choice on my part. Joe, the owner, was always late, by days. Had arguments with his contracters - even in my house, in front of my wife. Constantly asked me for money. After 1 month, the job he said would take 4 days was not even half done So, I fired him and the very next day I got someone through Angi who finshed the job in 3 days. And it looks great.
We recently moved into a property over an acre in size, and the backyard was in rough shape. Northeast completely transformed it. They filled the old septic tank, graded the entire backyard, added a beautiful patio and front walkway, and finished it off with a brand-new asphalt driveway. The results exceeded our expectations—the property now looks like an estate! We are so thankful for their professionalism and quality work.
It was excellent job right on time I really appreciate it
After 2 1/2 years of not being able to secure a contractor willing to excavate or property we found Joe who told us, "No problem when do you want to start?" After receiving Joes quote we asked if he could build us a wall also. Joe stuck with us even after we were satisfied with the excavation. He encouraged to order gravel late on a Friday to finish up the site.
All went according to plan. They were professional, reasonably priced and took care in finishing the project on time. I have never seen a more efficient team coordinating all that needed to be done.
