Tanner (Owner of TMT Excavation) and his crew did an excellent job "refreshing" and expanding my long gravel driveway. The driveway had not been updated in 20 yrs...the entire job from estimate to completion was very professional (yet friendly!) and I even received guidance on NYS tax exemptions for capital projects. The job was completed in less than a day and I love it!

Last summer our sewer line had a clog between the house and the street. Several attempts to clear it from the house were unsuccessful. TMT was able to come out on very short notice with their excavator and add clean-out access to the sewer line in our front yard. All in pouring rain too! Great Service!

We are extremely happy with how Tanner and crew have moved our vision from paper to dirt and stone. Can’t wait until spring to see it come to bloom!

I can’t recommend TMT Lawn Mowing enough! We’ve been using their services for both our personal home and rental property, and they’ve consistently exceeded our expectations. Theo mulch they provide for our gardens is of excellent quality, giving our outdoor spaces a fresh, vibrant look every season. They take great care in delivering exactly what we need! In the winter, their snow plowing service for our rental property has been a lifesaver. Their team is prompt, professional, and always ensures that our driveway is clear, even after heavy snowfalls. Their reliability is unmatched, and we feel completely confident in their services year-round. If you’re looking for a dependable, knowledgeable landscaping and plowing company that truly cares about their customers, look no further!

My daughter is a second year graduate student at Cornell and she has no time to shovel. Since I live out of state, I had to find a company to plow for her which was not an easy task. It is my second winter using TMT for snowplowing and I could not be more happy. They have done a wonderful job and I do not have to worry about my daughter getting stuck in her driveway. Even though I live states away, communication has been so easy. Great company and great job to all involved!
