Excavating Contractor reviews across the US

Extremely pleased and satisfied with the driveway paving project VT Outdoor Services completed last week. Communications and timing were spot on; pricing was fair; job was done right by their hardworking crew. We'd recommend highly.

We hired VT Outdoor Services to build a shed pad in our backyard and couldn't be happier with the results. The work was done professionally, the quality is excellent, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend them for any outdoor project!

Being new homeowners in the area with a surprise sinkhole in the yard and a leaking foundation (that didn't show up on inspection,) we were thankful and relieved to find Hugh @ VT Outdoor services. We initially called 3 companies, 2 of which kicked the can down the road. Hugh on the other hand was out to our house in 24 hours to access our situation. He thoroughly investigated the root causes of our property's water issues and provided us with a comprehensive drainage and foundation repair plan/quote the following day.

Large equipment was carefully placed in our yard and a stellar crew was able to detach our deck, completely excavate the perimeter of our house, repair the foundation leak, and more importantly create a drainage system that now moves any and all water away from the home. They also discovered that the footing drain installed when the house was built in the 90s was improperly placed. Best part is this whole project was wrapped up in 2 days during sub zero temps in February leaving us with no worries and a dry basement for the Spring melt. When the project was completed in less time than expected, Hugh reduced the amount of the quote.

Can't thank these guys enough! They check every box, do highly skilled & careful work, and provide an exceptional level of communication during what is an extremely stressful and urgent situation for any homeowner. 👊🏼

It was a pleasure doing business with Hugh. He made sure that we were satisfied with the work and came back on several occasions to ensure that we were happy. I would highly recommend vt outdoor services. I've attached before and after photos. He put in roughly 500 ft of French drains. Our lawn was unusable and a swamp before he started and now our kids are able to play safely back there.

Hugh and his team we great. He shows up when he says he is going to, is very professional and communicates everything they are doing and finds out exactly what you need before they start. Graded our very long driveway and put down gravel. It has been less than 24hrs and I have had 3 compliments on how it looks already.

We hired VT Outdoor Services for a semi overhaul of our driveway and overall was pleased with the experience/results. Hugh checked in with us numerous times throughout the process, was able to flex and add in extra work ditching, widening a section, and replacing a culvert. The end results exceeded my expectations, especially with them using the roller for compaction. Hire them!

Hugh is fantastic to work with and responds quickly and kindly. These guys work hard and do a great job. They replaced our large culvert and stabilized a sinking driveway. Prices couldn't be beat, very reasonable. I have recommended them to my family and friends and would suggest you give them a try.

We were lucky to connect with Hugh and his team to take care of our driveway repair last fall. They were friendly, professional and promptly got our driveway in great shape before the snow arrived. We were very pleased with the outcome and the driveway looks like it will hold up to mud season perfectly. We highly recommend them for your outdoor projects. Hoping we have an opportunity to work with VT Outdoor Services for our future property needs. Thanks Hugh and team…. We appreciated your help and service!

Works hand and hand with our Electric Company to provide the best services throughout Chittenden County!

Thank You very much to Josh and team.
This was our second project with Northstar and we highly recommend them!
5 Stars!!

They cut a beautiful trail to the brook behind my house. I’d highly recommend them for any excavation or land cleaning needs.

Dana of Curtis Landworks recently resurfaced my gravel driveway and enlarged the parking area and I couldn't be happier. It looks great. Dana is a professional...communication and dependability were spot on. He takes pride in his work, which shows, as it looks great...crowned nicely with clean edges. Highly recommend

Dana did an excellent job reconfiguring my whole driveway and the drainage around my house. He came exactly when he said he would and the job ended up costing less than his estimate. He worked with impeccable attention to detail. My property looks great.

Dana’s work is fantastic! The time from quote to completion of work was fast. Dana raked and smoothed the bumps out of my dog agility field. He recommended one small and inexpensive change to the plan that has turned out to be my favorite feature: widening the access point for seasonal access with a vehicle.

Dana did an outstanding job refurbishing our long gravel driveway. Nicely crowned and built to last. Dana provided excellent communication and attention to detail throughout the project. I highly recommend Curtis Landworks for any gravel driveway needs.

Highly recommend!

Dana provided an estimate for clearing out sumac, invasive plants, bushes, & saplings from our terraced backyard. From that time until the job was complete, he was communicative, timely, and efficient.

Our experience with Curtis Landworks was perfect! There is no part of the process that could have been better -assessment...estimate...the work itself.. Dana Curtis was clear, fair, on time and did the work with competence and conscientious attention to detail. Dana always had the "big picture" in mind that save him time and me money. I highly recommend Curtis Landworks to anyone who needs excavation and land management work done.

Dana repaired our driveway including delicately emptying a culvert that was filled with driveway stone from a washout. He saved the culvert by being very careful and patient with his approach. Dana is professional, highly skilled, detail-oriented, thoughtful and a good communicator.

Dana was a pleasure to work with! Our driveway was looking rough and he provided his professional opinion, gave us options, and worked with us on fixing not only the driveway but improving the drainage issues that were contributing to driveway destruction. Absolutely will work with Dana again when the opportunity arrives.

Hogan Excavating called me as soon as we requested a guote on our washed out driveway Repair in Vermont for our tenants currently residing in Brookfield, Vermont 05036 (this is our future retirement choice investment property my Grandfather left us for my wife and I) We live in Cheyenne, Wyoming and didn’t know who to call or who would respond to our request in Vermont. Here to tell you, I got a personal call and quote when they could be there and resolved our washed out drive in Brookfield, Vermont within a week! Added scope to resolve some curb side appeal today and it was resolved today! We will continue future work and maintenance with Hogan Excavating from this day forward.
Respectfully,
Bill & Kelli Jo Van Houten

We used Hogan’s Excavating for fixing a sink hole and standing water in our yard. They were quick to come out and give us a quote and easily scheduled on the timeline that worked best for us. Once the work was started they were quick and efficient and we have no complaints at all! We couldn’t be happier with the finished lawn!
