EXCELLENT Based on 70 reviews Posted on Google Gary HarrisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RC Grading did a phenomenal job fixing a three-quarter mile stretch of horrendous dirt/gravel road.

Andy did a great job on resurfacing my gravel driveways and I would highly recommendPosted on Google Michael HofmannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very reasonable price, did a great job!Posted on Google Barak and Kim SternbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Updating this review because we needed more work done on our property and I can’t do a second review. We chose RC Grading again and glad we did. Still 5 stars!! Once again they did an excellent job. They cleared more land around our house site, leveled out and graveled a spot for our camper and put another layer of gravel down on the driveway. They were efficient and communicated well while doing the project. We still highly recommend them! RC Grading & Hauling did our driveway which is 1/3 of a mile long this past summer. We were just now able to come and see it this December and they did an excellent job! They are very nice and care about their customer service. Get all the quotes you want but chose these guys, they will do the best job.Posted on Google Elliott BaileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted them on a Saturday afternoon about paving our steep, gravel driveway that had begun to wash away and addressing a crevice that had formed between the driveway and paved road. We connected again the following day, Sunday, and I sent multiple pics to Joe. Joe came out the following day, but we had left to drive back home. He called and we shared various options on how he could address the driveway. We agreed paving with asphalt would be best. He gave us the cost, we sent a deposit, and he said he'd work us in over the next couple of months since it was a smaller job. It is a vacation cabin for us and we weren't there, so that was OK. His team came out, did a nice job, sent pics, and left the property in such a way we couldn't tell they were there with the exception of the new driveway being in place. They had also roped it off to keep folks from driving on it. When we later arrived, about a month or so after it was paved, I blew off the leaves and noticed a crack in the pavement. I sent Joe pics and he and Charles came out the next day, examined it, explained what happened, and they already have it on the books for repair. I appreciate their attentiveness, responsiveness, and fairness. I would certainly use them again and highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a job that involves any type of paving.Posted on Google Eric RuthmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are great!! Friendly, thorough, and fair. Need I say more? Hire them. Cheers!Posted on Google Linda LydayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing company! They happily worked with us when we had to reschedule at the last minute. They were able to complete our project within our time line and it looks incredible. They are a family owned business and the quality of work and professionalism speaks for itself. We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend them to everyone we know for any or all of the services they provide!Posted on Google Dana PerezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
