New excavating business 
Young Ryan Post has a great idea for his new business, Post Family Enterprises. What Ryan does is confined area excavating! Ryan has a couple of nifty little machines: a mini excavator with a backhoe, a Bobcat Skid Steer and a dump trailer. Ryan does foundation waterproofing and repairs, parging and tarring, Big-O drain Pipe, flagstone, small ponds, landscaping, walkways, retaining walls, garden prep, tilling, rock gardens, septic repairs, holes for swimming pools, and trenching. He can also prepare and lay sod and deliver sand, gravel or screened topsoil. Because he works with light equipment, there's little disturbance to your yard. You can call Ryan Post at 705-639-8957.
