My husband and I had John Vadenais excavate a bunch of large stones and stumps from our backyard and grade the yard overall since it had a lot of bumps and dips. Johnand did a fantastic job. I even asked for a small White Pine to remain, if possible even though it was surrounded by rocks and stumps that needed to be removed. John saved the small tree and«worked his machinery like a surgeon»(husband quote). He even offered up some ideas for a pond we are thinking of installing next to a large boulder that we kept in the yard. I would recommend Phil’s for your yard — you get what you pay for with a high level of professionalism.
