Living out of state we only had one opportunity to meet with Neil to explain our vision. It was 3 weeks of work, and Neil and his team did an amazing job. Neil kept in contact with me so I knew the progress. He was very professional, and a joy to work with. Most importantly, Neil has high integrity. I highly recommend Heart Shake Land for clearing and grading needs."

"Excellent quality work! A plus that the business is run by a local Chattanooga family! Highly recommend."

"These guys were great to work with. When they realized they were going to be done sooner than expected, they called to ask what else I needed done. I added work to the job and still came in under budget and less than quote! Thanks for a great job!"

"These guys are awesome! In one day they cleaned up the back of my property that was overgrown with briars and brush. They took the extra time to push up the mountain of mulch and didn’t scatter it all over the grass! Best quote I got and prompt service. Really good communication!"

"Needed property prepared for new pole style garage installation. Neil and Elliot removed more than a dozen stumps burying them on my property,cut in a new driveway and leveled pad for garage. My property is not easily accessible and two sizes of rock were dumped on property next door. They transported material with minimal to no damage. (Not an easy task). Had rainy days which was a day or two set back but these 2 guys showed up on Father's Day and finished the job. I will definitely be using Heartshake for my future jobs."

"We had a great experience with Haeart Shake. They came out to the property to see what our needs were, recieved a quote and date to start.

I highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to call upon them for any future projects."

"OK, I've hired A LOT of contractors for various reasons over the years with mostly good experiences. Neil & Elliot from Heart Shake Land Clearing and Excavation communicate and operate at a totally different level than anything I've ever experienced! Terms like authenticity, exceptional communication, knowledge, trustworthiness, fairness and caring are all accurate when describing these guys. The first order of business for them when reviewing the landscape on my property for the site prep needed for my ne 24X48 pole barn was "how can we accomplish the site prep needed while making as little impact on the beauty of the natural property as possible." Our property is a 1936 built log cabin on 12 acres of mature forest, so aesthetics matter a great deal. I didn't even bring up the desire to maintain the aesthetics, but Neil and Elliot did which shows they truly care about the right things! The project called for 2-3 inches within trued grade-Neil and Elliot got the site prepped within 1/2 an inch!!!!! It looks beautiful! They will treat your project as if it was their own, and I can't express enough here on this review how much of a pleasure it was to have Heart Shake Land Clearing and Excavation involved in my project. I will use them for anything and everything in the future no doubt!"

"Heart Shake is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with. They have integrity, do what they say they're going to do, and their work is high quality. They performed land clearing, road building, and house pad preparation for our new house. Also, their prices were more reasonable than other contractors. We will definitely use them again. Once our house is built, we will be using them again to do some touchup work."

The work was done expertly and all problems were resolved. We will have them back soon to work on other areas of our property. I would highly recommend Heart Shake if you want your job to be done right."

"Please read…these guys are awesome. I never knew my place could look this good. They are honest, and really care about what you want done. There are businesses that are only in it for the money, and there are businesses that are good people. They are good people. They care about the environment, and take pride in their work. Thank you so much and thanks for saving the turtle ❤️"

"They did an excellent job preparing and clearing a lot in order to get it ready for surveying and development. Will definitely work with them again."

"I recently used Heart Shake to prepare a lot for an upcoming house build. This project involved clearing, removal of existing structure, and installation of driveway to new home site. We are very satisfied with how the project turned out. Besides the quality work, they provided a detailed estimate of what the project would include. They fought hard along the way to find reasonably priced vendors for gravel and other services such as dumpster rental to keep the project on budget. They were very transparent about these things along the way. Never felt like they were trying to nickel and dime me extra charges. These guys do great work, communicate well, and do what they say they will do. Can’t ask for much more."
