“David had to trench through my backyard paver patio, but he was careful to minimize the damage to the patio and set aside the removed pavers in a neat stack… helped me navigate the process with PG&E.”

“David was able to start on the job immediately, pivot when we hit a large boulder underground… and dig underneath a retaining wall without damaging it. He has a deep understanding of the PG&E Greenbook.”
