Posted on Harold Fry2025-08-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My name is Harold and I want to tell you about this new contractor on South Pittsburg mountain. I needed some work done on my culvert and driveway. I was introduced to this guy, Dustin Clark. He is young and just started his family. My friend brought this guy over to look at my problems. I being on social security, cost was going to be a big factor. We talked about what was needed, then came the moment of truth, cost! He gave me a price that I could not turn down, and on top of it gave me a military discount to boot when he found out i was a vet. Dustin didn't know me. He had just met me, and I gave him a big hug, I think he was shocked, lmao. Anyhow let me tell you about the job. I was worried he might adjust his work to the price, but that was definitely not the case. He came in and went above and beyond what was needed to do. Because of the price he gave me, I felt compelled to do as much as I could, but he wouldn't have it stating that "going above" is his motto. When most would allow me to do their work, he wouldn't have it. I had called TDOT to come clean out the culvert, but they weren't able to get to it as fast as I needed because of my stress. CCC, Clark Cumberland contracting again came through with flying colors. Mr Clark cleaned up after the job, and since completion, he has been by to see how things are going. My opinion is he is very keen on detail, and I really know he went above and beyond what was contracted to do. I recommend this company highly!!!!! Most of the contractors I have used left me feeling slighted cutting corners so their overhead doesn't cost them. CCC repaired my crushed culvert and graveled my drive after grading the ground to shunt the water around my garage instead of flooding it. You won't be disappointed, I'm sure because I am more than satisfied with the work done!!! Happy!! Happy!! Getting sleep now!! TDOT came after CCC repaired the crushed culvert and cleaned out the pipe under the drive. Flowing well now!!!Posted on Doug Hitchcock2025-08-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dustin and his crew cleaned off my lot in Jasper Highlands and did an excellent job. His level of professionalism and willingness to do the best job possible was really impressive. I would highly recommend Dustin to anyone needing his services. Thank you Dustin!!Posted on Morgan Blanchard2025-08-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dustin Clark showed up swiftly in our time of need. He was knowledgeable and quick to get the job done. Him and his partner were personable and offered great insight. I not only gained the only guy I will ever use for excavating or dirt labor but my husband also gained a friend.Posted on Jason Plaster2025-07-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great price, quick to respond and deliver. Highly recommend Dustin and his team.Posted on Kevin Bass2025-07-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding work, honest pricing, and top-notch communication. We hired Clark Cumberland Contracting to prep our land for a tiny home build, and I couldn’t be more impressed. They showed up exactly when they said they would, brought in a load of quality chert fill, leveled out the pad beautifully, and even installed an 8-inch culvert under our driveway to help with water drainage. They worked through some tough weather without complaint, stayed in touch every step of the way, and finished the job well under the price quote we’d gotten from someone else who never even showed up. Honestly, it was a blessing that we found them. It’s rare to find folks who do what they say they’re gonna do and do it with care and professionalism. If you’re needing dirt work, site prep, or drainage solutions, Clark Cumberland Contracting is who you want. Highly, highly recommend.Posted on Chris Frasse2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dustin was very professional, prompt and reasonably priced. He is now my “Go To Man” for driveway repairs and all dirt and gravel projects. 100% recommended 🇺🇸👍Posted on Jackufall tr8des2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Dustin by a friend of mine who used his services. When I reached out to him he responded within just a couple hours. I told him I was looking for 5 large boulders for yard accents. They are roughly 3-5 ft sand stone. He quoted me a price that was much more reasonable than expected. Especially since he delivered them within just a couple days. He unloaded them in a staging area since their final resting place isn't ready yet. He mentioned he can even place and position them if needed. Overall I am very pleased with the service, price, and communication Dustin provided. I will definitely use his services in the future and gladly recommend him to others.Posted on Alex L2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered some decorative boulders from Dustin for a reasonable price. He delivered them as promised and offered to position them for us as well.Posted on Vladimir Ristic2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Dustin from Clark Cumberland Contracting bring out a load of sand for me, and he didn’t just drop it off — he spread it out perfectly and even helped move some trees and clean up brush while he was here. You don’t always find someone who actually goes the extra mile, but he did. If you need any kind of dirt work, sand or gravel delivered, or land clearing around South Pittsburg, this is who you want to call. Solid work, fair price, and no hassle.
