When 50ft of sluice pipe needs a chiropractic reset! 😂 we removed the sluice pipe, regraded the sluice bed lowering pipe elevations, reinstalled pipe and compacted. @milton_cat @dynapacnorthamerica #excavation #tompkinscounty #The ithaca #ithacany #upstateny #caterpillar #graveldriveway #303.5 #259d3 #dynapac
Transforming nearly 100 feet of a failing blue stone wall into a stunning feature! Our client wanted to preserve the original stones, so we meticulously removed them, installed a new stone sub-base and carefully dry stacked them.

When your floors are sinking in and they need a little face lift. We demo’d the failing floor(sub floor was practically non-existent), excavated for a stone sub-base, compacted, installed vapor barrier, reinforced with mesh and drilled in rebar – all tied, installed expansion joints and moved a couple utilities over. Last but not least, we installed a tongue and groove subfloor system along with new floating vinyl flooring. #carpentry #carpentrywork #carpentryskills #failingfloor #newflooring #vinylflooring #upstateny #ithacany #tompkinscounty
Say goodbye to chaos and hello to efficiency! 🔨 A little over a year ago, we completely transformed our trailer into a tool haven—and it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made. 🙌 Organization isn’t just about looks; it’s about saving time, staying productive, and being ready for anything a job site throws at us. @milwaukeetool @stihlusa

Bluestone is a superior choice for patios and pathways in upstate New York compared to precast concrete pavers due to its durability, aesthetic appeal, and compatibility with the region’s climate. Bluestone, a natural stone typically sourced from areas like Pennsylvania and New York, offers exceptional strength and resistance to temperature fluctuations and freeze-thaw cycles common in the area. Its density and natural hardness reduce the likelihood of cracking or crumbling under harsh weather conditions, outperforming many precast pavers in longevity and performance.
Aesthetically, bluestone delivers a timeless, high-end look with its natural variations in color, including blue, gray, and earthy tones, creating a unique and elegant outdoor space that blends seamlessly with the local landscape. Unlike concrete pavers, which can look artificial and repetitive, bluestone offers a more natural and sophisticated appearance.
While bluestone may initially cost more than precast concrete pavers, its durability and minimal maintenance needs make it a cost-effective investment over time. Proper sealing helps protect against water absorption and flaking, ensuring a long-lasting patio or pathway that maintains its charm.
In conclusion, for homeowners in upstate New York, bluestone not only provides a stunning visual impact but also ensures resilience and longevity in the face of the region’s demanding weather conditions. #upstateny #excavation #ithacany #tompkinscounty #ithaca #hardscaping #hardscaping #pavers #bluestone

This front porch really needed some extra TLC! There was a major sag on the roof, the large portion of the porch was completely chipped away and the small portion of the porch was failing. We came in and addressed every issue plus more! #upstateny #carpentry #carpentrywork #porchgoals #tompkinscounty #outwiththeoldinwiththenew #porchupdate #ithaca #ithacany #lansingny
This driveway didn’t stand a chance against us (or gravity). Forty tons of crusher run, a large roller compactor, and some good old-fashioned excavation expertise later, it’s looking solid—literally. #excavationlife #fixmydriveway #graveloverload
SIDE FIX: We also moved the stone steps at the top of their walkway to make room for a larger turnaround. Additionally, we brought in more Seneca stone and added another step to help with elevations. #upstateny #excavation #ithacany #tompkinscounty #caterpillar #graveldriveway #drivewayrefresh #gravel #cayuglake @finger_lakes_stone @milton_cat @suretractrailers
