The man plowing Walmart today would give him a rating 1000 out of 10!! He saw that my son was loving the huge plow truck and brought it over and showed him the bucket lift up in the air very sweet man!!

UPDATE: It's now 4 months later and they have stood me up once so far. Originally I tried for two weeks to get someone to call me back in June. I had to go in to see them just for a call back. I get they are busy but I am disabled and needed gravel for my driveway and for a shed being delivered to sit on. They did finally call me and said they'd be out to look over the project. That was more than two weeks ago (now 4 months) and they never showed. Very disappointed in this local company. My kids are planning to build a home as they are relocating here in Maine once they leave the military in a few months and E.L. Vining will not be hearing from me for that project.

While we've not had the folks at Vining do any excavation work for us, we have had snow removal services this year. These folks are so kind, reliable, and do an awesome job ---- especially on a driveway that's a bit of a challenge. We are thankful for this great group of folks!

Excellent Support and Service. Ordered 16 Yards of Crushed Gravel in the morning and it was delivered that afternoon. Sunny the driver also took care not to damage the low hanging fruit on my Apple Trees. Thanks!

Buyer beware!! Use at your own risk!! Their negligence and bungled job is still costing to fix. Vining was contracted to deliver 3 yards of rip rap (rocks) last June. They were given pretty specific delivery instructions but jimmied the job up from step one. They delivered 3 days early (on their own schedule) and gave me the end of their previous job. Instead of the Monday we agreed on delivered to the side yard (accessible from the driveway), Vining dumped the entire end of their last load directly in the middle of my driveway. The rocks delivered were not the three yards of rip rap we paid for but 9 yards of mostly unusable, small rocks and sand. Additionally, they delivered this mountain of rocks directly in the middle of our driveway completely obstructing the front of my house. Yup, no access to the front door or front walk at all. Vining has been told to deliver to the side yard but because they came 3 days early, nobody was home to ensure that the delivery went smoothly and they dumped off any old place that suited them. When the workers came the next week, they had to do triple the work moving the rocks around from the wrong side of the house. Moreover, after our job was finished, we still had 6.5 yards of unusable rocks and sand completely obstructing the driveway. After repeated calls, Vining promised to come and pick up the rocks, but instead gave us the run around FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!!! When they finally did pick up the rocks and sand THIS JUNE, they did a crummy job leaving lots behind and damaging the driveway in the removal. No customer service. Liars. A total liability to use. Cost MUCH more to clean up after than the job they were hired for. Caveat emptor.
