"Our experience with FTC was outstanding in every way from discussing and visualizing the project to its completion. Because of clear communication and careful planning by Anthony and his crew we knew exactly what to expect and the result is a meticulously constructed metal wall. FTC is a superior company and I give them my highest possible recommendation."
"I found Anthony and his crew through a Facebook recommendation for excavation and retaining wall work. When they came and opened our minds to the option of a steel retaining wall, their vision and advice was exactly what we needed. Throughout the project there was always clear expectations and timelines. They consistently showed up and worked hard until completion. I would highly recommend them to anyone."
"I contacted Anthony about excavation work for a barn pad, water line and electrical line at my rural and very remote ranch. He trenched over 700 feet for my water to the new barn. The hydrants and waterer were insulated and have never frozen despite occasional temps of -32 degrees. He planned and constructed a pad for a 40x60 barn on a grade with a 5 foot difference — when the barn was constructed months later it was within 2 inches of level. Anthony proved to be the consummate professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Anthony and in fact we are discussing future projects."
"Working with Family Tradition was the most seamless and worry-free experience. They accomplished what they said they would do and more. I would (and have!) recommended them to friends and strangers. Thanks for your hard work and awesome job!"
"Top shelf work and service. Thanks for all the great work you have done for Sun and Shade Landscaping."
