“Northwest Dirtworks performed a fully professional lawn restoration at my home this year, and the lawn germinated and grew ideally just as Northwest states. David is clearly highly experienced, and discussed in complete detail everything that will happen. There were no surprises. We have additional work at our home for Northwest and will always turn to Northwest Dirtworks as our first choice. It was easy and a pleasure during the entire process. Thank you David!” - Jeff Kerezian

“David of Northwest Dirtworks has done an amazing job clearing, leveling, and providing special footing for a dog agility training area on our property. His communication has been excellent. His work ethic and expertise are evident in every step. His coordination of all of the steps, deliveries, and application of materials was perfect. He gave us valuable information for maintaining the new areas. We highly recommend in terms of thoughtful care and completion along with exemplary temperament for collaboration.” - Mary Arango

“Dave was good to work with. Flexible when it came to changing our landscaping plans. Would recommend him to others.” - Mike

“ We have used Dave who owns and operates Northwest Dirtworks LLC for four different large projects now around our home and small farm. Dave is an incredibly skilled machine operator, a very hard worker, and is a true man of his word. He has proven time and time again to be reliable, trustworthy, and severely undersells himself in my opinion meaning he is very reasonable and affordable with his pricing. No hidden costs, accurate quoting, and to be honest he puts in way more effort and work then he is charging for. What might take someone else two days to finish, Dave will take on and working non stop and will be done in one day, and with a better end result done right. So instead of paying for a two day job, he only charges for the one instead of stretching his time as others might do. There are zero corners cut. But there are huge hidden savings in this for the customer, and it is only possible because of Dave's knowledge, experience, equipment and machine operator skill. He has all of the right equipment and attachments for any job, and knows exactly what tool to use when. Lastly, I have to commend Dave on what I think is one of his greatest attributes but may go unnoticed. Dave is a visionary, meaning he can fully imagine the perfect end state of a project in his mind, even when I the customer had trouble seeing it, and he has the ability to bring that end state to life. At this point Dave has helped us redeem acres upon acres of unusable land, that we thought might not be possible to get beneficial use out of... but with Dave's vision, equipment, knowledge and skill, he got it all done. We have a fully functioning farm that we are able to feed our community with, majorly to Dave's credit. We have a market garden, orchard, pasture, parking areas, and more that came about with Dave's help when previously it was just extremely rocky, uneven, overgrown, wasted land. We have other projects planned in the future, and we will not use anyone else other than Dave! Thanks Dave for all you have done to help us, we are so grateful for you, and are more than happy to support you and your family as you have with ours!

(Also, I wasn't going to add this... but because I believe it brings glory to God I will. I only met Dave after asking many other similar companies for help, and no one wanted to take on the job or had the time, or was insanely expensive. So I prayed to God on my knees to send us help in our time of need when things seemed hopeless, and Dave was the answer to that prayer and who was sent. So I literally praise and thank the Lord for bringing Dave and his family into our lives. All credit and glory to God!)

You could choose to use another company to do your work... but honestly you would be making a big mistake and be missing out.” - Steven Thompson

“Phenomenal experience, reviewed what I was trying to accomplish and what the end goal wanted to be. Then worked with me to help design then build to achieve the end goal. Always available to chat and answer questions.

Coming from a contractor would highly recommend Dave for any work!!” - Kevin Volpicella

“The French Drain that Northwest Dirtworks installed was done quickly and professionally. We are thrilled with the final result! The drain started paying immediate dividends and solved several problems for us. David was friendly, polite and professional. He was in constant communication. When he said he was going to be there he was. He offered sound advice. I highly recommend Northwest Dirtworks.” - Bob Barnes

“Dave at Northwest Dirtworks has transformed our home inside and outside. He is the most reliable contractor we have ever had in the nearly 30 years we have been here. You would be wise to contact Dave. Looking forward to our next project with Northwest Dirtworks” - Andy Case

“Dave the owner of NW Dirt Works has been a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable owner and excellent communication to the scope of the work and process. We were having major drainage issues on our property and the problem has been completely resolved. Phase 2 of the project included grading, redefining backyard area, constructing a stone wall from boulders uncovered in this process and gravel pathways. He also carved out a dedicated area for a shed which he also placed a gravel base. We highly recommend Dave and his business Northwest Dirtworks. . Professional company and really great guy who’s very easy to work with. We can’t fully express our satisfaction and pleasure with the entire project ! 5 star experience all around !” - Stacey

“Northwest Dirtworks just completed a complex drainage job for us. Dave is easy to work and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend for any of your excavating projects.” - Sarah Waterman

“Dave was great to work with and was great at responding to my questions. At the end of each workday, he sent an email summarizing everything that was done, plan for the next day, etc. Very professional and did a great job. While I think I need a couple more heavy rainstorms to fully test out the fix it seems to be doing well so far! Thanks Northwest Dirtworks.” - Michael C. Pelletier

“I’ve lived in Burlington for about 6 years now but I just recently had the pleasure of meeting Dave from Northwest Dirtworks and working with him on turning my vision for my property into reality. After many years of struggling with the equipment I have, I finally realized I did not have the adequate resources to reach my goals on my property without a little help. I’ve seen the awesome work Dave has done on his FB page, but was always hesitant to reach out thinking my job was too small or he wouldn’t be in my price range etc. I couldn’t have been more wrong! Dave has been nothing but great to work with. He is very knowledgeable at his craft and has been very accommodating and flexible with offering different options and routes to get my property to the end goal I am looking for. He recently helped to add a driveway extension and pad for my shed as well as bringing in fill and rough grading my front yard to get ready for top soil and hydro seed in the spring. Dave is a one stop shop and I am very pleased with his work so far and will continue to work with him in the future to help bring my dreams to reality. Thanks Dave!” - Anthony Scionti

“100% recommend Northwest Dirtworks to anyone who is in need. Dave did an AMAZING job. He was a personal referral from a family friend. He came out to our home and re-did our entire yard for us. His customer service is top notch! Everytime I have texted or called he has answered and helped us out with any questions we have for him. You won’t get a harder worker or someone who cares about their clients more than Dave!” - Tommy Jannetty

“If it wasn’t for Northwest Dirtworks expert opinion and hard work we really wouldn’t even have a Farm…

First off I have to commend Dave for his professionalism, skill, timeliness, and his outstanding character. He is a true stand out, and his integrity and heart hold true to the values everyone wishes the contractor they were working with had. In fact, it will be difficult, if not impossible to find another man like Dave to work with when you need something done. Dave provided us with a fair quote and worked with us when we were ready to begin our project. Well I say “fair”... but the price he charged was not fair… for him!

Why do you ask? Because the “day” this man puts into his work is worth at least 4x what anyone else is going to put into their day of work. This is partly due to his skill and efficiency at operating his equipment, but also his non-stop work ethic that won’t be matched. It certainly helps that he has all of the right machinery, equipment, tools and attachments to get the job done right. Dave showed up early every day and worked non-stop all day, each day of the project. Part of the “secret sauce” to Dave’s success is his ability to envision the end goal in mind and make it a reality. My plan was a little half-baked and uncertain as to whether or not it would even be possible. I had a dream but no real path to fully get there. Dave not only far exceeded our expectations, but delivered an end product that was better than we could have ever imagined.

My plan and project was my passion, and I didn’t expect him to make them into his passion too, which added to the drive and striving for perfection you usually only find when doing something for yourself. Dave treated my property and project as if he was doing it for himself and his family. His diligence and care shined through everything he did from start to finish. We are on a very tight budget, and Dave was made aware of that, so throughout the project Dave of his own accord developed different plans and ways we could use existing materials on our property and reshape the terrain to accomplish the end goal by spending the least amount of money possible. This is not how contractors work! But this is how he works! Our dollar got stretched so far it would make the federal reserve nervous!

Dave is a visionary that brings passion, perfection and delivers on his promises in a way you simply can not do by yourself. Trust me, I rented equipment before and tried it! You simply can not rent the same equipment, and attachments, pay for fuel and get even half of the amount done that he can get done in half the time. It would cost you easily 4-5x more to produce what he can for the same amount of money. From our experience, Dave quoted 4 days worth of work for a fair price to which we agreed. He worked this promised amount… and some, which should have been way more than enough as it is... but what he really delivered was at least 2-3 weeks worth of work (in my opinion of course) if I were to have paid anyone else to deliver that same end state. While I’m not promising on his behalf that you will get more than what you pay for, I am simply relaying our experience and how much of a blessing Dave was in helping us in many ways.

If you have any kind of land clearing or site work, yard clearing, expansion, excavation, pasture clearing or restoration, driveway or parking pad restoration or installation, any kind of structural pad needed, expanded parking, drainage or water mitigation, trail clearing, rock removal or relocation, terracing or even making a miserable rock pit into a working farm… and you don’t call Northwest Dirtworks, you are making a massive mistake and doing yourself, your family and your wallet a huge disservice.

Dave from Northwest Dirtworks is our contractor of choice and is absolutely welcome and wanted back to the property. There is a future part 2 to our project that includes a rear pasture which he will be our only phone call for.

Dave is a very humble guy and isn’t boastful, but he certainly could be with the skills he has. I would put him up against any comparable contractor or company any day of the week. If you live in the Northwest Dirtworks service area of NW Connecticut or the Farmington Valley Area, consider yourself blessed to have Dave as an option to call. If you don’t, pray to God for help on your project, and maybe God will send you Dave from Northwest Dirtworks to answer your prayers like He did for us!

Thanks again Dave / Northwest Dirtworks, it’s an honor and a pleasure to know you and we can’t wait to work with you again in the future. Our family is truly grateful for who God made you to be, and we do actually consider you and your help a real prayer answered. You helped turn our pitiful rock quarry of a mud pit into an actual workable farm our family will depend on to feed ourselves and pay our bills. Thank you and May the Lord Bless you and Keep You!

We will be keeping you, your company and your family in our prayers!” - Thy Neighbors Farm

“Dave/Northwest Dirtworks was called in to give our family a usable yard/family space after we had two dozen-ish large trees removed to the stump. Dave proposed a well thought out plan and provided a detailed proposal to make the project a reality, along with a day-by-day plan. Worked commenced and progressed (weather cooperating) according to plan as Dave was punctual and assured the structured plan stayed on schedule. Dave communicated every evening with what was completed the prior day, what to expect the following day, and if there were any things that he needed from us. Dave also had the flexibility to allow us to add on a playscape pad while the project was ongoing. Once completed we had minor hill erosion due to heavy rains and Dave followed up (a week or so after completion) for pictures and to assess any issues, proposing a plan for fixes come spring. Our family cannot say enough good things about the project, from start to finish, that Dave executed flawlessly to give us our dream yard that our family will enjoy for years to come. We honestly cannot say enough good things about the service Dave provided and give the highest recommendation to anyone in search of having a similar project completed at their property.” - Derek Moore
