Excavating Contractor reviews across the US

Seth and his team did a great job remediating the drainage issues we had in our basement. He excavated the entire East wall of our house, put in fresh gravel and fill, and were super, super, respectful and conscientious when completing the work (our yard was not damaged at all). Seth was true to his word and to the quote he provided. We are extremely satisfied with the work and will recommend Independent Excavating to our friends and family.

Quick service, friendly staff, fair prices and generous when loading dirt and mulch.

By far best soil in town and the delivery was fast and on time. Thanks again for the great service will definitely use you guys again.

I have bought topsoil from Bud's at least 4 times in the last 19 years mainly because they are close to me only a mile and a half. I have never been happy with the quality it has a lot of what I call clay. They say it is not clay but it acts like clay, it compacts, compressis and cracks when it drys out. It forms balls when you rake it out. It doesn't grow grass well because it does not have enough organic matter in it.

Bud's really does have some of the best quality topsoil around, I've tried using others but had trouble. We've also used their screenings when we put in our patio bricks and haven't had a single problem

I made an appointment with Buds on Tuesday for delivery on Thursday late morning for driveway gravel. They call me on Thursday at 9:30am to tell me they received a call for a job the day before and they cant make it after I moved my camper, vehicles and prepped the area. I dont know what happened to the customer sevice at this place. Im taking my business somewhere else.

Great products and great service. Initially went there for a truck bed of mulch. Very nice, very inexpensive mulch they put into bed of truck with their bucket loader. Next week went back for a truck bed load of gravel for the driveway.

Bought a truckload of "topsoil" PLUS compost (mixed together) from this place a couple months ago for veggie garden as well as for spreading in the backyard. The soil was extremely poor quality, so much so, that the veggie garden is barely surviving AND everywhere the soil was put has become a weed garden.Over the years I have bought dozens of trucks of topsoil but NOWHERE has the quality been this poor. Unfortunately I will not recommend this business.

If you want a GARDEN MIX soil, this is where you go in fond du lac county. In the past I would buy soil and compost from stuarts. I would blend it well, then plants would go in. Soil was basically clay, extremely unhappy plants. I like buds blend so much I replaced all of my stuarts soil. Highly recommend

Family owned business that cares about making your landscaping dreams come true

Prompt and friendly service

Matt is great to work with. Very prompt and friendly!!

Horrible company to do business with. They won't work with you on pick up arrangements. Never answer at their office. Driver was extremely rude! Will be taking my business elsewhere from now on. They are a horrible company!!!!

Matt helped us in a pitch by using their charger to charge our battery. What a friendly crew. Office secretary was very pleasant, Matt’ s mother wouldn’t take anything for their kindness, told me to pay it forward, went back to our van, tried to give Matt money and he said donate it in the collection plate at church. Thank you so very much 😊

I wanted to support a local business and one close to home so I reached out to Navis. They seemed very eager to give me a bid and take on my project. When the time came to start, I stopped receiving emails, and call backs. When I stopped in the office to see what was up, my paperwork got handed off a couple times to different people and then I got a load of excuses of the project needing to be postponed. Talking to other excavation companies to get a new bid they all had the same response " Navis is known for doing that when they don't want to take on a job " I took my project to a different company who wanted my business and stayed in communication with me. Sadly the best price and service was from out of town. It's unfortunate that Navis just couldn't be honest with me from the start and wasted my time and my contractors time, waiting for answers for weeks into a month. I lost all respect for this company, but found a much a better one to work with and recommend to others out of the situation.

We are very happy with the removal of our building and the cleaning of it up. They did a fantastic job and finished it off with seeding it. The estimate was reasonable and it looks terrific.

They did good work for me but a couple years later the PVC pipe they installed cracked, causing a shower to pour on me as I enter or leave the basement. I have contacted them many times, but they have never been out to fix it (they say they will).

I can't say enough about Louis and Darek and the great work they did. Removing an old barn, garage and seven corn cribs was made easy by this crew. When they said they'd be there, they were there and came in under budget. The place looks amazing. Thanks so much! Highly recommend!

Awesome as usual!

Great service!

Very professional, and quality work
