Testimonials

What Clients Said

"From start to finish, Gradeworx made my patio project stress free and I am so happy! I've been in my home 20+ years and my backyard has always been an issue from no sun, no grass, fallen trees, and other construction obstacles. I can finally enjoy my backyard while relaxing on my patio and the fire pit at night. Professional, thorough, attention to detail, and always communicated with me. Highly recommend!"

Testimonials

What Clients Said

"Justin and the entire Gradeworx team have been nothing short of remarkable on several projects i’v contracted them for. Between digging drainage, reshaping my backyard, concrete work, and stump removal, these guys show a level of expertise in all fields that you would not expect from a local outfit at the price points they have provided me. Justin is always quick to accommodate a free consultation and is very open to helping me come up with solutions and designs to help bring my landscaping ideas to life. I am grateful to have them as a local resource. I can’t recommend a company more."
