To Whom It May Concern:

I wish to take a moment here to observe the qualities of A-1 Excavating which I have experienced personally on two different occasions in the past six years.  Allow me to share my story for just a second if you will. 

In 2002 my wife and I had the chance of a lifetime to purchase a five acre property which included a farm pond which would eventually be developed by A-1 into a focal point of our homestead.  The pond when we bought the property had been exhausted by the farm which it serviced and I was fortunate enough to have Phil Stephens and company ride to the rescue and revitalize a bleak view.  Honestly night and day Phil and his people worked during what was a brutal winter to correct what Mother Nature had damaged for so many years.  A-1 did all of this and probably more for the exact amount discussed prior to said project.

I was as a matter of fact impressed enough to urge my brother to exact the services of A-1 for his pond project again results as expected…….excellent.

In 2007 I decided to change a part of my landscape which bordered the northern portion of my pond.  Again I called Phil or Dr. Phil in this case to come remedy the problem.  Job done.  Done in a timely fashion, the cost exactly as described and workmanship second to none.  My neighbors, two of them in fact have used A-1 upon my recommendation and have been equally pleased with the efforts of A-1.

In a world so blighted by poor workmanship and persons of compromised integrity it is truly refreshing to have had such a positive relationship with the likes of a company like A-1 and Phil Stephens owner.

Sincerely,

Matthew C. Perdue
