Testimonials
Don't take our word for it. Here's what our customers have to say.
Dave Kowalski
Homeowner, Clifton Park
Dirt Works 518 dug our foundation and put in the driveway, and the whole job went smoothly. They showed up on time, kept the site clean, and the price matched the quote. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
Linda Chen
Property Manager, Albany
We had a drainage problem that had been flooding our parking lot for years. The crew figured out the issue right away and fixed it in two days. We haven't had a puddle since.
Rachel Moore
Business Owner, Saratoga Springs
Professional, friendly, and honest. They cleared and graded the lot for our new shop ahead of schedule and answered every question along the way.
Chris Delaney
General Contractor, Troy
I've worked with a lot of excavators and these guys are among the best. Good equipment, good operators, and they actually communicate. That's rare.
Jim Patterson
Landowner, Glens Falls
They cleared five acres of overgrown brush and cut a road back to the rear of our property. Great work, fair price, and they left the place cleaner than they found it.
