Description of Work: Chris King is great! He helped us get our septic field replacement permit, gave great advice and kept to the schedule he gave us. His price was reasonable, but the work was premium. He has these laser level devices that kept everything at the right angle and the inspector passed it without one request for change (after spending hours measuring endlessly). | |We then hired him again to dig new power and water line trenches, they were perfect looking and both the plumber and the electrician remarked that they were professional done and took his name for their future use. He also dug some dry-wells (leaving everything looking like he'd never been there) for us and spread a load of rock on our gravel driveway. | |I don't know how we could recommend him more! We were very lucky to get him.
