“EarthTech has been a great partner and critical component to the project. Great communication, attention to detail, high quality work, and they work hard to resolve planning and coordination issues caused by others to benefit the project. Our project would not have been the success is was without their teamwork and expertise to find high-quality and economical solutions. They have gone above and beyond with their efforts in redesigning the large project’s landscaping scope of work, including coordination with other subcontractors and architects. It has been a pleasure working with all of the EarthTech team members, and an experience I hope to continue in the future.”
