  So we have a stone driveway which hasn't been touched in 15+ years, saw a recommendation on a local Facebook group and decided to give a local company a shot . From start to finish Will made the whole experience a breeze. Very professional, punctual and did an amazing job, our gravel driveway looks amazing

  I'm so grateful for William at *Third Hand Earthworks* !!! He 100% made s*** happen for us!! Practically overnight too. 🤯
I reached out to him and he was able to come to my house the *same day* for an estimate and to look at the scope of the project. All I have to say is I found the price to be extremely fair for the extent of the work that was needing to be done and I didn't even question it! Much appreciated my friend!! We have a backyard center island that was choked by pricker bushes and poison ivy, dead trees, lawn clippings, you name it! It was back there lol. It seriously needed a face lift!
We set something up and I told him to give me a call if anything were to open up sooner as I wanted to get the work done as soon as possible. Lo and behold he gave me a call and was over my house within the week!
William is so professional and kind and incredibly skilled. The Foresty mulcher is an absolute beast!  My lawn is also still in great shape after he worked through it. It didn't damage our grass at all which was a concern for me because of the weight but it looks fine..!

I would 100% highly recommend choosing him for whatever project you're dreaming!  That machine must have been so expensive and requires so much knowledge to maintain... What William does is truly an art form!

I'm extremely happy with the work that was done just in time for the first day of spring.🌱🌼✨🌞✨💚💚💚

Thank you so much Third Hand Earthworks!!

  Don't have photos to share yet but had Third Hand Earthworks come out and tackle a beast of a yard! Couldn't be happier with the results they gave me. They were able to beat several other quotes I had received, and the results of their work was not disappointing in the least! Part of my yard had become a large overgrown jungle of fallen tree, vines, and prickly overgrowth. They came in and took everything down allowing me to reclaim large amounts of my yard. They moved fallen trees, ground overgrowth and massive piles of fallen wood to the ground and opened a large swath of property back up for use. The size of brush and trees or amount of tangle did not matter. I will definitely have them back soon to clear more acreage for use!
