VT Outdoor Services does driveway, drainage and excavation work, and on Google it holds 5 stars from 147 ratings. A recent customer said Hugh and the team graded a very long driveway and put down gravel, and that he found out exactly what was needed before they started. A customer wrote that Hugh and Devlin transformed an 1100' gravel driveway and crowned it properly. The company says on its own site that it will advise customers every step of the way from the initial meeting to project completion. Drainage is the other job here. A recent customer said Hugh and his team fixed a long-term drainage issue on their property, and that when they left the customer could hardly tell machinery had been driving on the lawn. A customer said they replaced a large culvert and stabilized a sinking driveway. Another recent job was digging for septic perk tests, where the customer said the worker showed up 30 minutes early. A 2026 customer facing a sinkhole and a leaking foundation said Hugh was out to the house in 24 hours. That 2026 customer said the crew detached the deck, excavated the perimeter of the house, repaired the foundation leak and created a drainage system, wrapping up in 2 days in sub zero temps. The same 2026 customer said Hugh reduced the amount of the quote when the project was completed in less time than expected. A 2025 customer said the crew paved their driveway on the hottest day of the summer and pushed through it. That 2025 customer also said that on the day Hugh came to give a quote, he promised the numbers by afternoon, and they arrived. A 2024 customer said Hugh put in roughly 500 ft of French drains in a lawn that had been a swamp. A 2024 customer said Hugh regraded a long uphill gravel driveway, redug the drainage ditches on either side and put down new gravel, and had plowed it for the past few years. A recent customer said Hugh had to wait in line a bit before the work got underway. In 2022, a customer who went with their previous excavator after getting Hugh's estimates said he sent a message accusing them of wasting his time and saying he would not take any jobs from them.
We are thrilled we connected with Hugh at VT Outdoor Services. He was very responsive, easy to ask questions and listened thoughtfully to help us fulfill our goals. He had great insight into what would work and what wouldn’t. His crew took painstaking care and attention to detail. Real honest professionals! We definitely would use them again.
They have hauled my equipment the last few times for me, extremely Accommodating of my ever changing schedule! Highly recommended
Hugh and his team fixed a long-term, anxiety-provoking drainage issue on my property. They made a careful assessment of the situation and proposed a common-sense, highly effective solution that had minimal impact on my yard's aesthetics. I had to wait in line a bit for the work to get underway, but it was well worth it. The crew was highly skilled and efficient, and when they left I could hardly tell there had been machinery driving around on the lawn. Excellent experience all around.
Hugh, Chad and Devlin were all wonderful people to work with! They were knowledgeable and patient taking care in explaining the job and answering my questions. I highly recommend them and will hire Vermont Outdoor Services again in the future. Thanks Hugh!
Hugh and the team were able to problem solve and come up with a very elegant solution for our shed pad. Looks great and the whole team was very easy to work with!
