What Our Clients Say

Real reviews from real customers across Vancouver Island.

How We Work With Our Customers

Every job starts with a conversation. Before we get into the work, we want to understand what you're trying to do, your timeline, and what matters most to you about the project. It helps us figure out if we're the right fit, and it gives us a clearer picture of what you're after.

When you call Black Mountain Dirt Works, you're talking to the owner. There's no sales team or coordinator in the middle. It keeps communication simple and lets us make decisions on the spot when we need to.

Communication Throughout the Project

You'll know what's happening on site and what's coming next. Construction sites change — soil conditions, weather, things that turn up once you're in the ground — and when something comes up, we bring it to you before we make a call on it.

Walk the site with us if you want to. If you'd rather just get updates and photos, that works too.

Finishing the Job

Every job gets finished properly. Proper base prep, solid craftsmanship, clean site when we pack up. That's how we run every project.

Built on Reputation

Four years in, a big part of our work comes from repeat customers and referrals — people we've worked with recommending us to their neighbours, their family, their coworkers. We're not the cheapest option on the island and we're not the biggest. We're an owner-operated crew that builds things properly. If that sounds like what you're looking for, give us a call.

Reviews From Our Customers

Real words from real people. Every project, every job, every relationship.

★★★★★

"I would highly recommend to anybody! Worked within our budget and exceeded expectations. Prompt replies, as well as quickly executed any work that was discussed. I believe I called on Wednesday and all work/clean up was completed by Sunday. We are so happy to have our backyard again!"

Kaitlyn Lagos

★★★★★

"Above expectation service! We highly recommend Michael and Black Mountain Dirt Works. Michael's work ethic and suggestions meant our project was completed on time with a finished project beyond our satisfaction. Neighbours walking by have stopped to compliment the work."

Mike Radlin

★★★★★

"Overall one hell of a company. They were efficient and professional and finished the job exactly as I wanted. Well worth the money! Can't think of anything bad to say. Highly recommend."

Colin Schultz

★★★★★

"I highly recommend Black Mountain for your challenging landscaping projects. The cost was less than I expected and the final result is fantastic! You can expect a high degree of customer service as well as creative suggestions to help you complete your project to your complete satisfaction."

Patti Alaggia

★★★★★

"We highly recommend Michael and Black Mountain Dirt Works. The retaining wall between our properties was failing, and we anticipated the cost to replace it would be quite high. Michael came up with an alternative that was much more affordable with a quick turnaround."
