Removing boulders close to a house, correcting a low spot in a yard, and preparing wooded ground for seed are jobs customers describe hiring Starbard Construction Co to do. The Rutland company offers excavation and site improvement, and its website says it has been in business for 43 years. Its company description on BBB includes drainage, septic systems, foundation preparation, utility work, boulder walls, natural stone, screened loam and driveways. A June 2026 Google reviewer said Evan had worked for them three times over the years. On the latest project they described, he excavated a wooded area with stumps, prepared it for seed with loam, and used boulders that came out to extend their boundary border wall. A May 2026 reviewer described a different yard repair: excavating, compacting and leveling with loam to eliminate a low spot. That customer also praised his knowledge and flexibility with timing. In a November 2025 review, a homeowner described removing large rocks and boulders within ten feet of the house. They praised Evan's control of the equipment while reworking several areas of the yard. Another homeowner, writing in September 2025, said he removed roughly 25–30 stumps of different sizes at their Rutland home, along with brush removal and grading. That customer described the price as fair. A separate September 2025 review praised drainage, excavation and landscaping completed at the customer's home that spring. The work also extends to stone features and septic repairs. In June 2025, Joann and Jim Bartlett described natural rock patios and a retaining wall built around their backyard and deck. A May 2025 reviewer praised communication throughout septic repairs and Evan's responsiveness when they needed project paperwork afterward. An August 2024 customer described decades of using his services for foundation excavation and drainage trenches, praising his precision with machinery. Google lists a five-star average from 11 ratings. BBB gives the company an A+ grade and lists licence HE-137918; that is BBB's licence listing. Undated BBB reviewers also praise professionalism, dependability and prompt responses.
Evan has worked for us 3 times over the years. Very professional and prompt. His work is second to none. Recently we had a wooded area with stumps excavated and prepped for seed with his awesome loam. There was a bunch of boulders that came out so he extended our boundary border wall. You’d be mistaken if you didn’t contract with Evan
Evan was great to work with. He was knowledgeable, flexible with timing and easy to work with. He went the extra mile to get rid of a low spot in our yard, excavating, compacting and then leveling with loam. I would highly recommend Evan.
We hired Evan to rework multiple areas of our yard. Including removing very large rocks/boulders within 10ft of our house. The job required a skilled operator. Evan is a meticulous sure handed operator with his many years of experience very evident in how he handled the procedure. We would highly recommend him for any type of construction requiring backhoe work or material. Thank you Evan for the terrific job!
Evan came out to our house in Rutland, did a great job on stump removal, brush removal and grading, took out around 25-30 stumps all different sizes, gave us a fair price and did a great job, would definitely recommend him for future jobs.
We have known Evan both personally and professionally for many years. This spring Evan completed some work at our home which included drainage, excavation and landscaping. Our project was completed beautifully with high quality workmanship in a timely manner. We will continue to place our future business needs with Starbard Construction.
