Our family is truly grateful to Tommy. Thank you so much
Excellent work. Came out and gave us an estimate. Started work when we were ready to take on the project. Pricing was very reasonable. Tommy is professional, friendly and extremely easy to work with! Our dam needed repaired. He came out and fixed the issue, repaired and graded and then had him do our second pond. Love how it looks! Now bring on the rain.

Tommy has the integrity and grit to get any job done right the first time, every time.
He is great at working in jobs last minute, even when his schedule is full. He has helped with bringing our visions to life and has a great way of reimagining the way things can be done by going the extra mile to make it happen. He has helped with plumbing, drainage, tile work, grading, ponds, and even a mini golf course! If you are looking for a great local contractor who actually knows what he is doing and not a company that will make excuses of why you can’t get what you want then definitely call Tommy. He’s literally the best in the industry.

Great to work with.
I needed a small area worked and the other companies I called wouldn’t touch a job that didn’t net them 5,000 dollars. Stroud was over to give me a reasonable estimate within 2 hours and was able to squeeze the job into his schedule within a week. Super friendly, great service… will absolutely use again if I need more work done. Highly recommended.
