My experience with Clark Cumberland Contracting was not only incredible, but very pleasant in that it it was quick, easy, and affordable. When I sent an email inquiring about some work on my driveway, Dustin called me in less than 5 minutes and was at my house evaluating the job just as fast. He is a great advisor for anyone's need. I could not be happier and look forward to using Clark Cumberland Contracting again. Thanks for all you did. It looks great and the slope is great.

If I could, id give Clark Cumberland Contracting 10 stars !! Dustin, the owner, was very easy to work with, kept me informed every step of the way, and is extremely fair with his estimates. He provided me with an estimate within days of me contacting him, started the job as planned, and finished early. He did the agreed upon work, and even more. The finished product is beyond my expectations and he will definitely be the one I'll be using for my future landscaping and clearing needs.

From my first call to the final handshake with Dustin Clark at Clark Cumberland Contracting my experience was outstanding in every detail. I needed someone to come and fix my gravel driveway which is a little over 700 feet. After reading the reviews on their website, which were all excellent I gave Dustin a call and I am so glad I did. Very thorough, professional and kept me updated throughout the entire process. If you are in need of someone to repair your gravel driveway I Highly recommend Clark Cumberland Contracting.

Went above and beyond to help me out of a nightmare situation. He was more than fair, honest, and transparent all the way through the project. The project even ran over and he agreed to hold his price. I did give him a extra for the effort. Spent an entire day just cleaning up before he left. Highly recommend. Will use again.

Dustin came out and put in a great new gravel pad for my home. My wife was sick of the mud and I need more parking space for vehicles. Won't use anyone else for future ground work projects

Dustin at Clark-Cumberland is simply, outstanding. He is one of the most conscientious and talented contractors that we have worked with. He took a vacant area on our church property and turned it into the well laid out parking lot that we envisioned. Dustin has excellent attention to detail and had great suggestions for add ons that made sense for the overall project. He did the work 100% on budget and was also diligent about finishing the job on schedule despite weather challenges. For this type of work, look no further than Clark-Cumberland Contracting.

My gravel driveway was scraped by another company but I was not satisfied with the results. Contacted Clark Cumberland Contracting and spoke with Dustin. Dustin came to the house, reviewed, the situation and said he could fix it. He did! The driveway is solid and the runoff works. He actually followed up on a rainy day to make sure it was good. I would hire him again for any work I need done. Professional and knowledgeable.

I hired Dustin for some slope grading so I could seed & straw a property for one of my customers. He and his worker showed up early and knocked it out of the park! I was impressed with his work and will be hiring him for future projects.

Common Challenges on Dunlap Properties
