Joe's work was timely, fast and done well. He has insight that we depended on to give the best and lasting result. For example, turn the building (for future barn he was preparing pad for) this way to blend with the site better, back your boat in with more ease, cause less soil to have to be removed and hauled in (we're on a hill), to be seen less from Lake Superior and for a more aesthetic appearance. I think some of his reluctance to quote job costs is that as he gets into a job, unknowns dictate a change. In our case, we hit rock and water not very far down and after Joe's recommendation changed the orientation slightly and I got another retaining wall to fill with pretty plantings. Working with Joe and Barbara Mecklin is great. They also know everyone and are helpful with suggestions for other services and people that newcomers need to know about. Also, as we asked other people for recommendations for sources of rock, sand, excavating, landscaping etc., Joe's name kept coming up. We were told you can't go wrong with Mecklins.
Description of Work: Joe Mecklin and wife Barbara have hauled many loads of sand, soil, and rock to where I built a rock retaining wall. He has a lot of different pieces of equipment, so he could also spread it for me. He also placed large boulders for another retaining wall where my husband is building a pole barn. Joe did the excavating and prep for the pad. He is easy to work with, fast, friendly, knowledgable and helpful. He has set prices for loads of rocks, sand and hourly work, etc., but doesn't like to give estimates for "jobs". We were a little concerned about that and were a bit surprised about the total cost of the finished pad. However, Joe knows how the land, weather, site problems etc. affect the building and we wanted it done right, which we feel it was.
