Every photo here is a job Andrew did himself. The portfolio is growing as new work gets finished.
The homeowner wanted privacy along the back of the yard without the look of a standard stockade fence. We built a horizontal slat run in pressure-treated pine with a matching gate.
Posts set in concrete below the frost line, every run checked level before the slats went on.
A fence that blocks the view from the road without looking like every other fence on the street.
Post holes dug below the frost line and set in concrete, so freeze and thaw doesn't push them out of line.
A level run end to end with a gate that swings clean and latches every time.
The decking was soft in places and the railings had started to give. We tore out what was rotted, rebuilt the structure, and put in new decking and composite rail.
New stair stringers cut so every step is the same height, and railings that hold when you lean on them.
Boards flexing underfoot and a railing that moved when you held it.
Rotted decking and rail removed, framing checked and repaired, then new treated decking laid.
Stairs rebuilt so the risers match, which is the part people notice with their feet.
Two of the jobs the lift and the mini excavator get used for. Deadwood cut out of a mature maple from 35 feet up, and machine digging in a back yard that would have been a long day with a shovel.
A dead limb cut back in sections from the lift, so nothing comes down in one drop.
Narrow enough to get through a gate, and it saves a day of hand digging.
Most limb work over a roof or a drive is safer from a lift than from a ladder with a saw in one hand.
Limbs, deadwood and small trees. A large removal or anything leaning on a wire is a job for a certified arborist, and we'll say so.
Brush cut down, loaded and hauled off, and the ground raked back over before we go.
Andrew photographs every job as it's finished. If you'd like to see work similar to what you're planning, just ask and we'll send what we have.
A couple of sentences is enough. Andrew reads every request himself and emails you back, usually the same day.
