Earthworks by Justin - Anything Dirt

Justin was great to work with. He stayed in touch and got the job done on time. He cleared and leveled the area perfectly for our upcoming construction project.

I've used Justin twice. Both times he done an excellent job. The first time was diggin' a utility trench and just recently backfillin' 'round my new under construction berm house. They responded to my messages quick and Justin knows his way 'round the equipment he uses. I would and will use him again in the future.

I'm really not happy. My yardwork got done in February . It was all finished except for the seeding, which I paid for. I paid after they leveled the topsoil and they said they would come back to do the seeding. I've called them multiple times and they keep saying they'll try to fit me in, but they never showed up again. By now, I've already bought and seeded the whole area on my own. I don't want them coming back to my property.

We had a really bad experience with Earthworks by Justin. We hired them to bring us some clean topsoil and backfill for both sides of our driveway. We made it clear that we wanted clean topsoil, both in person and through text messages. But the dirt they brought us was full of big and small rocks, and now we're stuck trying to get rid of them. When they spread the dirt, they said they couldn't finish one side because it was too wet. They promised to come back in a few days to finish the job. That was back in November 23. It's now March 2022, and they still haven't shown up to complete the work. We've been constantly asking them when they'll be able to finish, but they keep making promises and giving us dates that they never follow through on. They don't even bother to let us know if they won't be able to make it or reschedule. They haven't reached out to us at all since we first hired them. Whenever we try to contact them, they just keep promising to come back and making excuses for not showing up. Unfortunately, we trusted them and paid them the full amount ($3,800) in November when they said they'd be back in a few days. We've heard from other customers of Justin's who are going through the same problems with this company. We're extremely frustrated and just want this job to be finished as soon as possible.

The original date was 22 December , it was a contract agreement on a couple-acre Pond build. The business Earthworks by Justin came out and me and Justin walked the property and discussed the Pond build, size, and design. A couple days later I received the bid of $14500, I negotiated the price to $13,300. A day later, I received the contract and it was signed. Justin came out, I believe the week after Christmas to start. I paid $6000 as soon as the equipment was dropped off at my property per the contract. Justin was only working a couple hours each trip so I started becoming concerned about the completion. About 2 weeks into the Pond build, Earthworks by Justin asked for a progress payment of $2500, which I paid even though this wasn't in the contract agreement. I found it odd they would ask for money before the project completion. I began asking more questions about why Justin was only showing up for 2 hours at a time. It didn't make sense to me to drive 1.5 hours one way to only work 2 hours. Nonetheless, the contract didn't specify a timeline so I just asked questions. When Earthworks by Justin started asking me for a good date for trucks to pick up equipment, I became increasingly concerned. I then called them to discuss why they are talking about pickup dates when they aren't even close, in my opinion, to being complete with the Pond. I then did a GPS walk around of the pond and it was only a little over 1 acre of Pond dig. The contract agreement was for a couple-acre Pond. When I discussed this with Justin, he said he didn't bid a 2-acre Pond and stopped work. A couple days later, he had trucks out and loaded his equipment. I do believe they are very misleading on the website and in person as well. They claim to have 30 years of experience. But Justin is 40. So it's hard to believe he was building ponds at the age of 10. I am looking for a refund or at a minimum my $2500 progress payment or he can come back and finish the job per the agreement. Thank you for any assistance.
