I had reached out to Connor based on someone else's recommendation and he came out to the house within 48 hours for a consultation. He did a terrific job walking me through a couple different ways to approach the drainage issues of our driveway and left us with an absolutely stunning new driveway. He also helped us out with our backyard patio which came out better than we had hoped. He later came back and cleaned up from the equipment tracks, seeded and put straw down for new grass. Can not recommend Connor enough. Just call him you wont be disappointed.
What this service is
Water in the wrong place gets more expensive to fix the longer it sits — a soggy yard, water pooling near a foundation, or runoff cutting a channel through a lawn after every storm. This is Connor's primary service, and the one he leads with when explaining what Andrews Earthworks does. The approach is the same on every job: look at the property, explain what's actually happening with the water and why, and put in a fix that holds — not a patch that needs redoing in a season or two. This is residential-scale work, done by the owner directly, using equipment he maintains himself. If you're not sure whether what you're seeing is a drainage problem or something else, that's a fine first question to ask when you call.

Common questions
How much does drainage work cost in Williston, VT?
It depends entirely on what's causing the water problem and how much ground needs to move to fix it — a foundation-edge fix is a different job than regrading a whole yard. No fixed price is published here because it would be a guess without seeing the site. Text or call with a description of what you're seeing, and you'll typically get a number back after a look at the property.
How do I know if I actually have a drainage problem?
Signs worth mentioning when you call: standing water that doesn't drain within a day or two after rain, a soggy patch that never fully dries, water pooling near your foundation, or a driveway or yard edge that's visibly eroding. Any of those is worth a look — Connor can tell you on the call or during the site visit whether it's a drainage fix or something else.
How long does a typical drainage project take?
This isn't documented on file for Andrews Earthworks specifically, so no timeline is stated here. Ask directly when you get a quote — it depends on the scope of the fix.
Do you work on small residential jobs, not just big commercial sites?
Yes — this is a one-person, owner-operated business built around residential and light commercial work, not large-scale commercial jobs. Backyard- and driveway-scale drainage fixes are the typical scope.
What happens if it rains right after the work is done?
Follow-up after a heavy rain isn't formally guaranteed here — it's worth confirming directly what to expect for your specific job when you get your quote.
