“Mr.Willhite and his crew are consistently reliable and qualified to navigate any project. The ability to hire a company that has a perfectionist as it's owner gives us great piece of mind. Since Michael has an excellent sense of design and his job sites are immaculate he is a pleasure to work with. Our latest project with Willhite Grading involved removing 2 lawns and installing a dry creek bed. It came beautifully and we will certainly call Michael for the next project.”
