Complete Waste of Money – All Three Projects Had to Be Fully Redone I’m writing this review to help other homeowners avoid the significant time and money I wasted, as well as the frustration I experienced with Travers Construction. After my father passed away over three years ago, I hired them for a basement water penetration project because he had trusted and used them for years. I assumed I could trust them too. That project was the beginning of the end. It was clear that water was coming up through the foundation at the front of the property… they insisted that digging a trench about 15 feet from the house and filling it with stone was what needed to be done to fix the issue. I asked them whether this would just result in groundwater building up against the foundation as the path of least resistance, but they insisted that wasn’t true — and that is exactly what happened. At the time I didn’t have experience with these types of repairs, so I trusted their recommendation. They backfilled the trench with stone right up to grade and laid the grass directly on top of the stone with no dirt or topsoil. The grass died because it had nothing to root into. After the very next rain we had more water in the basement than ever before. When the problem persisted and worsened, they washed their hands of it and left. Their so-called repair made the situation worse and was a complete waste of money. Another contractor had to remove all of their work and redo the entire project properly. After this experience I was smart enough not to use them again. Only then did I look back at the earlier projects they had done for my father and realize every single one of them was also complete trash that ultimately had to be removed and redone by another contractor. French drain project (~3 years ago, around the time of my father’s passing): The quality of work was awful. No filter fabric was added to the drain and the perforated pipe wasn’t even connected. The system was failing less than two years later. It will need to be completely redone in the next few years. It was a complete waste of money. Patio / backyard foundation project (~14 years ago): They were hired to eliminate water penetration at the rear foundation of the house. They backfilled with pure clay. The project failed and water intrusion through the foundation started less than 10 years later. The patio had to be removed and the entire project had to be completely redone by another contractor last year. Their work not only failed to solve the water problem — it was a complete waste of money. In all three projects Travers Construction delivered substandard work using improper materials and techniques. Every job failed, required full removal of their installation, and had to be completely redone from scratch by a different contractor at significant additional cost. They appear to prioritize quick jobs and collecting payment over quality or lasting results, leaving homeowners to pay twice (or more) to fix the problems they created. If you are considering Travers Construction, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. I trusted them when I moved to the area because my father had used them in the past — and it cost my family substantial time, money, and repeated frustration. Learn from my experience and hire someone else.

Travers Construction was quick to respond to my request. They added great knowledge and ideas to my backyard upgrade. Stetson solved a water problem in addition to beautifying what was an eyesore previously. His crew is polite and he is professional and easy to work with. So happy i chose Travers Construction.

In the early Fall of ’25 Travers Landscape Construction Engineering came as one of many companies we called for estimates to put in a paver patio in our backyard and help level out the front yard a bit. When Mike came to see the job he explained his vision of our yard. It set him apart from all the others. He told us to do things no other company did. He pointed out issues no one else did. At that moment we realized he was a real perfectionist (something you want on your job). We hired Mike and quickly felt very comfortable with his crew , led by both Mike and Stetson. Everyone was wonderful to deal with and each put so much care into what they did. Our yard is now level, we have a beautiful rock retaining wall around our new paver patio, walkways and are waiting for the lawn to come in. We couldn’t be happier with how it all came out. So much more than we ever thought we’d have. Will call them back for a new idea we have!

They came, they conquered and left the place in great shape. From to estimate visit to the final work product, it came out exactly as discussed. The team hit the ground running and took a couple of hours to pull out a bunch of heavy, tall weeds, pull out a couple of stumps. rake and seed. They also trimmed some trees. These guys are my new "Go To" folks for land and hard scaping.
