Avery & Avery Excavating

unknown

I hired Gerry Avery of Avery and Avery Excavating at the recommendation of two different concrete contractors for a $200K+ landscaping project at my home that I decided to manage myself. Gerry's scope was to perform the excavation work for extensive new concrete retaining walls, install all of the drainage systems and grade the site in preparation for the landscape contractor's scope. Gerry's scope represented about 10% of the project. Gerry provided a competitive fixed bid. Gerry's team included Luis and Felix. They all performed very well. Luis did an excellent job on the drainage system, whichi included MiraDrain, Xypex, perforated drain pipe and geotextiles. Luis implemented a number of detailed installation improvements that were not on the drawings. Felix operated the track-hoe successfully within inches of the house. Gerry performed some of the excavation and grading work himself. He placed several large boulders in the landscaping with expert touch. Our landscape architect was impressed with his skill. Gerry and his team were very pleasant to work with. There was some extra work, and agreeing on the scope and cost of the change orders with Gerry was very easy and fair. Gerry cooperated very well with the other 4 contractors that I had performing other scopes at the site. I was very satisfied with the price, quality and timeliness of Gerry's work, and he was a real pleasure to work with. I have been recommending Gerry to others.
