The City of Colfax was incorporated on February 23, 1910, taking Colfax as its namesake." Quality/Quantity - This is our "go to" city stop on the way home to Reno and coming back to the "Bay." But today the entire city had a power outage, from the rest stop to ALL the businesses!! Our guest had to use the restroom!! So no time for me to Yelp or take pictures. It felt like the end of the world; everyone was so stressed out. Our usual stops were Starbucks and McDonalds; but if you are following, you know I have cut back on coffee and fast food. During the winter, we stop at Valero to fill up on gas before going over the summit. But currently, we have been using the "rest stops" for our breaks. Atmosphere - Typically easy in and out. But for the last few visits, it was not easy in and out. We have been here during snow storms and you were all closed also... So you are becoming less dependable. Should we be spending our $$ in Applegate now? Auburn? 1.4 square miles, none of which is water. Population - 2,000 (2020 US Census). Service - Depends on what you do, eat, or drink. Price - Depends on what you do, eat, or drink. But overall, reasonably priced. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1849, when you were known as Alder Grove.

Drove up the hill 60 miles from Sacramento, and I finally made it past Auburn!…read more And drove up north to the quiet town of Colfax! Soooo many trees and air sooooo fresh! I'm born and raised all natural city girl, but let me tell you, I would move up here in heartbeat if it was possible for me. Living here is an introvert's dream! Just peace and quiet, no busy roads and traffic. Very friendly residents and just so lovely all over! There are a lot of hidden rivers, creeks, and secret water holes up here! Basically, if you know, then you know! Also, the little town of Nevada City is not too far away either! Lots of good eateries and novelty shops out there! I came up here to spend a few days at my friend's place and the pictures of her home, pretty much sums up the beauty of Colfax! She did tell me she has some tenants that don't exactly pay rent. She does live on a few acres, so her night and day tenants are: Bears Mountain Lions Bobcats Coyotes Raccoons Possums Deers And also it snows up here too and when it snows it SNOWS! Mother nature will really DUMP that white powder up there like nobody's business! Prepared to be snowed in for a few days a week or so. Just some things to consider if you ever wanna live in this beautiful little country town!

Eric was amazing to work with. He has years of experience that make him an expert at what he does…read more We had him initially come out to grade an area for a garden but then decided to add on a road around the property, site for a future horse barn and a few other areas. He was able to transform our 10 acres into something even better than we had envisioned. We are now able to utilize and access parts of our property we didn't think possible. His pricing beat out other bids we got by far and we are beyond ecstatic with the results. He and his wife Marisa are honest, hardworking people and I would recommend them to anyone needing grading done. Truly one of the best experiences we have had.

The quality of the work was exceptional. His price was slightly lower than the 3 other quotes I…read morereceived. I know that all of the equipment used for this type of work takes fuel (which diesel prices are ridiculous unfortunately) and the cost to operate is not cheap, so i understand pricing is what it is for a reason. The owner, John, was so efficient in his work and time management which made this process so smooth for us. From the grading and trenching all the way to the removal of the large amount of dirt and debris hauled off, the process was seamless. I could not be happier with the end result and all of the communication throughout the project. Whenever I need work done on my property, Peyton Land Management will be my only call.

He stated he would be unable to use his GPR because it broke n required a repair back East n stated he could only check for electrical wires utilizing EMF. He finally stated he got the " lawn mower back n could come to my property- he scanned my wiring to my well pump but then out of the blue stated because I was in the " boonies " that his GPR would not work because his I iPad did not have a WIFI signal ?- Duhh- Extremely unprofessional- If he's suppose to be a pro and I told him that I only had 2 bars that he should have planned better n bought a remote WiFi hotspot to accompany his machine n obtain coverage for proper scanning. I reluctantly paid him half for his trip / travel time expense and he departed back home n rescheduled for the following Monday which he canceled due to overtime job at Beale AFB. He never called to reschedule so I found a guy with a system with its own built in signal and used him which he completed properly. I would not recommend this floater to anyone!- U get what u pay for n no one should have to go thru what U did to get a normal utility scan! Incompetence abounds- caveat Emmotor buyer beware!!!!

He's experienced and has the appropriate, good equipment so the task of trenching and covering it went smoothly! During the job he asked if I had any questions. He communicates well / is easy to talk to... answered all questions! It's hard to tell where he did his work. It almost looks as if he wasn't there. He took the time to hand finish the job.....even, maybe, arranging the leaves and pine needles back to the way they were. I would highly recommend Charlie to you!
