Great work and price was better than reasonable, even with adding things mid project. I appreciate Mr. Tucker’s work ethic and morals. It was a pleasure working with him and if I have any more projects, he will be my first call.

We have used WM Tucker for two jobs so far, and we were HIGHLY SATISFIED with both experiences. In the spring of 2020, Mr. Tucker and made our driveway a circle driveway. He used his bobcat to cut out the driveway then redistributed the dirt to help level out uneven places on the yard (he also spread grass seed and hay over these spots). We used crush and run gravel and it is all holding perfectly a year later. Last week (May 2021), we used WM Tucker for more work in our back yard. We added a gravel ring around our fire-pit for sitting, gravel floor in our barn, and a large gravel rectangle to

Look no further...THIS is the guy to use! We were blown away with William's level of competency, dedication to doing the job RIGHT, extensive experience, and most of all, his level of integrity and HONESTY. We had misunderstood something and were about to pay him several thousand dollars when he explained that the amount had been covered in what we had already paid. Frankly, we never would have known. We eagerly look forward to engaging him again to do our next project planned for later this year. Nearly every time we drive up our LONG driveway my husband mentions what a terrific job William
