Driveway Service
Complete gravel driveway renovation for Rutland County, Vermont. Specialized in gravel and stone delivery, repair and installation, yearly maintenance, parking additions, culverts, and more. We remove ruts and potholes, regrade and restore the crown, and leave a smooth surface. See our testimonials page for more.
Sustainable Trail Building
We design and build sustainable multi-use trails with mechanized equipment and techniques. Our clients include town and state agencies, nonprofit conservation and trail groups, like the Vermont Mountain Bike Association, and landowners seeking professional design and building solutions for ATV use, mountain biking, and walking trails.
French Drains
We review property drainage and regrade yards to redirect surface runoff for proper drainage away from structures. For subsurface water we use the French Drain Man Method to collect and disperse high volume water with a day-lighted drain terminus. We have a range of equipment sizes well suited for both open areas to tight access yards and a minimized disturbance footprint.
Mini Excavator & Skid steer Service - Small Site Work
We work with other contractors and homeowners for site work projects, brush removal, and property clean-ups. With our experience, we get into difficult places that are common to lake and ski properties.

ANDREW G. BENTLEY
A client best described our approach when they remarked that we are "...really particular about the work." Be it pleasing trails and smooth driveways, to beautifying your property, we care about the process and the results. For us, being "particular" represents our intentionality in our project decisions and dedication to doing our professional best given the conditions encountered.
