A few common
questions.
Do you take on smaller residential jobs?
Small excavation and property improvements are the focus. Send the project details so John can discuss equipment access and whether the scope is a fit.
Can you bring material and spread it?
Ask about stone or gravel delivery and spreading. Include the material, quantity, town, and access details so those items can be included in the quote.
What should I send for a drainage project?
Photos of the wet area and surrounding slopes, where water comes from, and where it currently goes. A site review may be needed to assess the options.
What needs to happen before digging?
Utility locations and other site constraints need to be addressed before excavation. Discuss public utility marking, private lines, septic components, and any project-specific permissions with John during planning.
How soon can you start?
Scheduling depends on the project, current availability, weather, and ground conditions. Contact John with the location and scope to discuss timing.
