Great Service! We ordered 13 yards of top soil. Delivered as promised. The driver did an excellent job and dumped it exactly where we wanted it. It's the nicest topsoil I have ever used. I highly recommend Falvey's Earthworks.

Truly Awesome company! We had reached out to two companies to inquire about moving a fairly large rock on our property. Falvey Earthworms called us and came over to evaluate what we wanted done and said yes they could do it. They came over with a backhoe and a very young man operated it to perfection. It was incredible. He moved it with care and placed it like a diamond in it setting. Perfect! In 1/2 hour rock was moved and he then moved a smaller rock into position and scraped the rest to level up the hole from the big rock's former resting spot. It was almost mesmerizing to watch him. He

I highly recommend Falvey's Earthworks! Falvey's was the only company that called back to relocate our one very large rock. Matthew said he was in the neighborhood and he could be there in 5 min. He showed up in 3 min and gave us a reasonable estimate and said they would call before showing up on Tuesday. Matthew called the night before and said they would be there between 8 and 10 am. At 8:30 am a nice young man, Josh, showed up with a rubber tread backhoe to protect our asphalt driveway. Josh was very professional and courteous. He maneuvered that back hoe and rock like he had been

I contacted Falveys to order 20 yards of topsoil to reseed my aching lawn. A very pleasant employee informed me that Falveys would deliver the 20 yards in just over a week at a reasonable price by local standards. Much to my surprise and chagrin, the soil was dumped on my yard without warning or permission in my absence just three days after placing the order. Ive not yet tilled the existing soil or excavated the thousands of small rocks directly under the newly arrived pile of soil. Needless to say, their decision to dump in my absence without consent was profoundly inconvenient.
