Don't take our word for it — here's what our clients across East Tennessee have to say.
Adam and Lucas did an outstanding job clearing land for me in Collegedale. The property had a mix of brush, trees, and rough terrain, and they handled it with impressive skill and the right equipment. They showed up when they said they would, worked hard the entire time, and left the area looking exactly the way I hoped. What really stood out was their attention to detail and the care they took to make sure everything was done right.
I loved working with the guys at L&A Landworks! They've worked on several of our projects and have met or exceeded expectations every time. Lucas was quick to give us a quote and came right when he said he would. When their equipment broke down on the job, they rented another machine and had a repair person on-site to minimize downtime. Adam was always happy to answer questions and willing to go the extra mile before being asked.
Hi Charles Griffin here. I am a retired minister and have built three houses in my years. It is always a challenge in construction to find reliable, competent contractors that are affordable. This time it was uniquely different. L & A really measured up to my greatest expectations. I have never had a team that demonstrated such high energy and attentiveness to detail. These guys are Christians and therefore have a high moral ethic that is visible in their performance. They were prompt, arriving when they said they would and accomplished the job in a timely manner. And their bill, wow! I had received a bid from another company and Lucas and Adam beat it at a very fair price. I highly recommend them and am continuing to use their services on the rest of my current home building project. Am 100% pleased with their integrity and the finished task. They walk their talk!
Adam and Lucas at L&A Landworks are the best! They handled a French drain, tree removal, and several extra grading projects for us with ease. They were professional, fair, and did a great job cleaning up when they were finished. We kept adding to their to-do list and they completed every task perfectly. Highly recommend them for any land work in the area!
