New Pool Surround

Ben's crews replaced my old, crumbling cement pool surround with beautiful new pavers. What I now look at is a work of art. It is beautiful! You won't go wrong if you hire Ben. Five stars!

Laddie Deemer

Precision has done 2 jobs for us . One in Falmouth and last years in Harpswell and the quality if workmanship was excellent and the prices reasonable. It was amazing to watch this precision team work.

Charlie Perakis

Ben met my difficult demands. After initial communications issues, all went well. He arranged for a competent and careful crew to prepare and plant a new lawn. I appreciated his honesty and direct delivery. My lawn now is beautiful.

Dave Gilman

It was a pleasure working with Ben and his team. We were having a pool installed in our backyard, which was sloped and essentially all ledge. There was a lot coordination behind the scenes with the pool company (Glamour Pools), fence company (Horizon), electrician (Rick Emery), general contractor for some deck/stair work, and Ben’s team. Ben and his team did some amazing work excavating and constructing the raised pool patio including constructing a large retaining wall, installing a large patio with pavers, and loam/seeding the disturbed areas of the yard. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

WALKWAY, GREENHOUSE PAD & TRENCHING- see before and after pics. We hired Ben and his team to complete a walkway on the side of our house that receives 100% of the water draining from our graded paved driveway. We would experience washout of stones in the current walkway and needed a good solution that could provide drainage and a significant esthetic improvement. Ben reviewed in detail the unique approach he would take with the type of paver and the material that would bond the pavers together and how to sow in behind the walkway in order to prevent any further washout. His team completed the work ahead of schedule, was professional, hard working and insightful when we discussed the project nuances. Not only is the walkway beautiful, it has been built to reflect the complex grade required to drain properly not only from the driveway but down the hill. We also requested that their team dig, grade and prepare a surface with crushed stone for a greenhouse to be built on top. The soil was hard clay with huge boulders that needed to removed completely and a job that could not have been done by the most capable of home fix-it project guy/gal. We are so glad that we asked Ben's team to add this onto our project as they did it quickly and it is nothing short of a professional surface that will drain properly and a leveled solid surface upon which to build. We hope that we will be able to use their team in the short future to do a large retaining wall project and pool deck re-construction. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a trusted partner for their home project.

We hired Ben Merrill of Precision Landscape and Excavation 6 years ago to create an outdoor patio space in order to make our backyard useable and enjoyable. He and his team created a 3 tiered multi dimensional recreational space beyond our expectations! Years later we had an issue with the patio shifting slightly causing some gaps in the stonework and Ben and his team came over and did an amazing job repairing it for us! It now looks like it did when we first had it done! We highly recommend Ben and his team at Precision Landscape and Excavation.
