Cedar Valley Earthworks

The job was clearing out a 300 sq foot area of tree roots, prepping area for new driveway, and laying down new asphalt. The job with Dennis started out great. He worked very hard. When it came time to get asphalt for the driveway, the shop just had 1 variety that day. When he arrived at my house with the asphalt, he was visibly upset about the grade that they had available. He made the decision to get a grade that has rocks in it that are from .5"-1" size rocks. Definitely not a finer grade which is more acceptable for residential driveways. When he was done, he was still visibly upset about the results and even thanked me for not being irate with him. He was hiring a third party to come in and lay mastik to fill the gaps, and level the surface, then seal the entire driveway. I appreciated his hard work and believed he was taking care of the job, so I paid him since I felt he was a man of his word. I even gave him a $600+ tip. The mastik/sealing company came out the next day and only used mastik on 25% of the 300 sq feet. A few days after it was fully dry, I texted Dennis and expressed my concern that the gaps were not filled and the surface was not at all level. He agreed to have the sealing company come out again. I specifically asked Dennis if they were using mastik as another coating of seal would not fill the gaps. He ignored my question and a second layer of seal was applied. I texted Dennis after the weekend asking him to get back to me. I did not hear back from him. I texted the next day expressing my concern that the gaps were still not filled and that now, there were streaks from the second application of the driveway being sealed. I included photos and asked him to please get back to me. He said that the work was "not that bad" and he "did what was on the estimate". "If the work is unsatisfactory, then I recommend going with another company" I paid Dennis for his hard work and what I thought was his honest word about finishing my driveway. Definitely my fault for believing him at his word. Dennis was dishonest with me on many occasions. He said that mastik would be used to fill gaps and level the surface. That did not happen. When I repeatedly brought up the grade of asphalt that he chose without talking to me, he said "asphalt is aphalt" that there is no difference in grade. Dennis told me that he would come out and look at my driveway again, but he never did. Dennis claimed that he sent the company out to seal my driveway 3 times and it was twice. I know that this repair would not match my existing driveway, but asphalt that was a much more appropriate grade could have and should have been used. I will have to hire another company to rip out and redo what Dennis refused to complete as he told me. I'm sure most of the time Dennis has done great work. Unfortunately that was not my experience. I thought he was a man of his word, but his dishonesty and bad decisions have left me with an unacceptable end result.

I wish I could give them more stars! We hired them to cut down four trees as another local tree service we had was not professional. So glad Dennis and his Earthworks crew were available. They were amazing! Their service was exemplary and the yard looked better than they found it (thoroughly cleaned up). What's most important is they really C-A-R-E and very efficient. We were so impressed that we added some other tasks. If you want it done right, call Dennis at Earthworks!

Excellent work, done timely and work till job completed. Cut and remove large alder and conifer to provide for a large garage.Graded the site and put down crushed concrete topped with five eights minus rock. Excellent work done timely. I really appreciate it the job well done.

Had a few surprises that were handled well.

Dennis was awesome to work with! He did amazing work at a fair price. He was on time and very professional. I would definitely hire him again!

The work that was done exceeded our expectations! He went the extra mile to clean up two ugly stumps and left the area in "perfect" condition. We could not have been more pleased with the service and the look of the final project.

They did it good job!

Dennis removed and chipped trees for us. He was easy to communicate with, a great price, and worked quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend and will be using his services again.

This is a genuine A+ job all around. While our job took much longer than they imagined, these guys were great. They didn't charge extra, always had a great attitude, were always willing to give us the run down on their progress, and ground the stumps so well you wouldn't even know these trees had been there. They even put in the extra effort to level out the yard where the trees were removed, dug up large tap roots from the trees, and ended up staying late both days to make sure the job got done. On the second day they pulled a 14 hour day to make sure it was done. These guys are dedicated, and I highly recommend them. Thanks again!

Dennis and his crew we’re quick and very nice. They did an excellent job and went above our expectations.

Dennis did a great job with our tree cutting job! We were very pleased. He then returned and did some excavation work also. Easy to communicate with and the estimate was reasonable. We would definitely have Dennis back to do more work, in fact we plan to.

Incredible from the initial call. Owner/Op Dennis was top notch. He was 100% focus to customer satisfaction. Took the time to evaluate requested work, offered several options depending on desired budget and then over delivered. Also was fast, responsive and thorough every interaction. We will be requesting future needs through his company.

It went great. They started on time and worked on the site until it was done like they said they would. They were safe and conscientious. Highly Recommended.

Great! Third spring in a row that we’ve had Cedar Valley come up. Great crew, great equipment, great experience.

Dennis and his crew were great. It was clear they were experienced and knew what they were doing. They were very efficient and cleaned everything up before they left. We love how it turned out. We’d definitely use hire them again!
