ALV UjUUdN7mMImuIaFswdhCiSH7E87LFKgu7pX0H ymLWzT mJiNYpO=w80 h80 pJustin N. (lSkeletonWitchl)Our experience with Site Prep has been amazing. Aj and Dave we're professionals. They answered our questions in detail and their attention to detail included picking up every loose stone that fell in the grass. They even went out of their way to level some mulch we had left over from a tree cutting. I would easily recommend Site Prep to anyone looking for site work.Read moreACg8ocLsGqp ZgElhEzQ04q2JzPtP0cqbz0fyu7hULgTH a8yvuOwQ=w80 h80 pJeffrey JoseThis is my second project with Site Prep, and it keeps getting better and better. Our previous project involved a shed pad, while this time, we again needed excavation and the installation of a playground pad with rubber mulch. Despite the scorching heat (over 90 degrees) that day, the team worked tirelessly throughout the day, barely taking any breaks. They’re incredibly thorough, meticulous, and detail-oriented. Ben provided me with a comprehensive walkthrough of the process and kept me informed with the progress. Mike, the owner, was incredibly easy to work with for planning, while Sam, the manager, was incredibly accommodating with what I needed. I want to express my gratitude to the Site Prep team. Thank you Ben, Dave, Sam, and Jesus for their exceptional work and dedication.Read moreACg8ocJZ5ByOpOnKA6UgQdH5CSBpJN sCwfMlSywT1qjVYCH2iPxOg=w80 h80 pFrank KishSite Prep was great to work with.

They gave me an appointment of 7 AM and I was so impressed that they arrived on time to the minute! I met Samuel and Roman, who were too young men who impressed me tremendously. They explained to me the entire procedure and how long it would take to complete. They were very skilled and professional. It was good to see two young men demonstrate such great work ethics and responsibility! That is rarely seen by young people today. I could not speak more highly of this company and the two young men that came out to perform the work for me today. Both young men took care that my property was not damaged by their heavy equipment or the work they performed. They cleaned up after themselves prior to leaving and went over the final results with me. I would highly recommend this company for any excavating work to be done. I am one that is rarely impressed and usually disappointed by contractors. They did not disappoint and met all my expectations to the fullest.. Great job I commend you all!Read more
