Report
I just built a new horse round pen. I didnt know what I needed after we laser leveled the area, but Shannon McCullough did. They delivered flimsand and then spread and compacted it. Steve and Josh were very friendly and professional. After the flimsand had settled and firmed up, I decided I needed 23 Sand. They delivered it and spread it 2 1/2 inches. Taylor was friendly and professional as well. A shoutout to Stephanie who kept me informed along the way. McCullough Excavating did a GREAT job for me. I love my new round pen!

Report
We built a new home out at Heritage Lake in Putnam County and couldn't be more pleased with the clearing of the land and hooking of our septic!
