Foothills Grading

Write a Review828-756-4065

Had a site graded off for a double wide. Had to have the ground cut down and leveled. They cut it down, put straw & seed then when I was digging the footings I noticed they had pushed 4-6" of fill dirt back over the solid ground to make it look right. Needless to say I had to dig the footings that much deeper so they would be in solid ground. I know this because there was a layer of straw 4-6” down and they guys that dug the footings were laughing at how the grading job was done. Also I needed gravel. They quoted me $300 a load and had a tandem truck sitting there (16-18 ton capacity) so I said OK. But when they brought the gravel most of it was brought on a single axel 8 ton truck with about 6-7 tons on the damn truck so I had to keep ordering more gravel. They never presented me with a single weight ticket from the gravel query… I got ripped! The $3500 job ended up costing me $7000! Then more money spent on footings and concrete to make up for the fill that was pushed back in. The ground settled and I also had to have more dirt brought in because it was not compacted correctly. I paid $400 to have straw & seed blown in. They did it on a very windy day and every bit of blew away. The entire job was a rush job and nothing more than a costly mess. I would never hire them again in my life. I did not stand over them to watch the job because they seemed like good’ole boys you know. Chris was very good and wanted to do things the right way and take the time to do it. In contrast, his brother Curtis was money hungry and was always in a hurry. If Chris was doing the job by himself I would hire back in a heartbeat but the both of them together was very costly and unsatisfying. I feel I was ripped off and would not ever recommend them for any job unless you stood right over them and watched the complete job and saw every ticket from the Query… Do not have the straw job done it was a total waste of $400.00
