Pat and his team are fantastic. We have a small yard with restricted access, so the guys had to manually dig out rocks, bricks etc and wheelbarrow it all out. The new turf Shane laid looks awesome. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

Pat did an exceptional job in excavating my yard space, allowing me a clean canvas to work from. Came along and quoted a fair price for the work day. He understood the goal I was wanting to achieve with the design and cleared/removed all unwanted material from the site.

Pat was great to work with, I had booked him in a few weeks in advance and was on a tight schedule. He was on time, had the right equipment for the job which included tree stump removal, concrete breaking and removal, and general land clearing ready for a new build. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again in the future.
