5 verified reviews Louisiana & MS Gulf Coast

Earthworks Solutions has handled several projects for me over the past couple of years. The work is done right every time. Josh's attention to detail is unmatched, and he goes above and beyond to make sure the customer is fully satisfied. If you're considering Earthworks Solutions, you won't be disappointed.

Josh has handled several projects for us. He built a rock road in our backyard for our boat, and we didn't have to think twice about it. He handled everything from start to finish and the work was excellent. We also had a swimming pool removed, which left our backyard a mess. Josh brought in dirt, regraded the area, and it looks amazing now. We liked his work so much we had him put in a brand new lawn for my mother, including scraping out the old lawn, laying new sod, and installing an irrigation system. Her lawn looks incredible. Josh is efficient, professional, and fairly priced.
