I was in need of a French drain, as recent heavy rainfall was seeping into my basement. My wife contacted Larry. He dropped by our home, surveyed the area, asked our specific needs, and said he’d get back to us with a quote. He researched with the city our best option, as well as the permits required, and gave us a detailed estimate. We agreed, he completed the work satisfactorily, promptly, and on budget. I would call Larry for his insights and a price quote in the future if I should have similar needs. I am a satisfied customer.

Laurie in Monmouth

We had the best experience working with Larry for our septic replacement. He was skilled, knowledgeable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. But above all, he is a truly good person. Hiring someone to complete work on your home is a huge investment and takes trust, and knowing we had someone who was always making the right decision, doing the hard work, and always had our best interests at heart was worth its weight in gold. Larry and his dad went above and beyond to complete or septic replacement in a timely manner, and any issues were always dealt with professionally, timely, and with a good-natured sense of humor. Our system has worked flawlessly since and we have had absolutely no issues. I can’t recommend them highly enough and if you are in the market for any kind of groundwork, look no further. These are the people you want.

I had Larry come to do an estimate and honest feedI had an excellent experience with LA Ground Work. Larry came out to provide a quote for an exterior drain but, instead of pushing for a sale, he offered honest and insightful advice on a better solution for my basement flooding issue. His candid feedback helped me prioritize the right approach, saving me time and money. I truly appreciate his integrity and expertise. Highly recommend LA Ground Work for their professionalism and trustworthiness!
