Mat, Seth, and his crew were excellent communicators. I always knew everything that was happening during a project that had logistics challenges. The jobs consisted of: 1) Restoration of a 2500 foot mountain driveway. 2) Installed a 4500 square foot asphalt pad. 3) Removed a huge old maple

Kudos also to Josh and crew at Black Lake Asphalt. The most efficient work crew (10 men), I’ve ever seen.

Baxter and crew are prompt, efficient, competent. We had a huge tree taken down. All the workers were speedy, cheerful, and cooperative. The price was reasonable, the clean-up was well done. We are delighted with the work, and recommend this company highly.

Matt and his team did an excellent job! Cleared a section of our property in one day. We now have an unobstructed view of the mountains that sit behind our property. Highly recommend them!

We called Baxter's for a quote to remove 25+ trees and grade the land. He came next day and gave us a quote same day. Matt was very professional and transparent which we appreciated (unlike other quotes we received). Matt has great communication skills and answered all questions we had! Matt and his team started the job the same week and showed up on time, every day as promised. The team were super skilled, professional, and respectful. I was truly impressed with how quick they worked with a high level of respect to the property (and safety!) The team fulfilled our agreed upon job in a timely manner and left the site looking clean! Matt was honest when we asked about additional add-on things and told us to 'wait and see' instead of jumping in and adding things we may not need (French Drain). If we have any other needs that Matt offers, we'll definitely be giving him a call and recommending Baxter to our friends and family! We're grateful for the services rendered and are so happy with the completed job! Don't hesitate to hire these guys!
