Excavating Contractor reviews across the US

Doug recently did some work for my husband and I, and we couldn't be happier. This man and his wife are professional, very honest hard working people who know their profession well. We would recommend them to anyone who wants the job done right without shortcuts. (No sales gimmicks just to grab your bussiness and then do half-a$$ work) We will only be calling him from now on. Earned every dollar and more.

Awesome experience from start to finish with the husband and wife super team. Great customer experience from the first call to the follow up conversation after the job was completed. I had two medium size jobs that had to be completed, pulling stumps and rocks and regrading the land. They did a very very good job and for a very reasonable price. They listen to what you want and get it done. They follow up on the timeline and were at the job site early. I already have another job that I will be reaching out to them for next year. In short, They are the best.

We have had Doug handle all of our landscaping needs for the last 7+ years. He has cleared trees for a fire pit area, and did some extensive excavation work to build a playground for our girls. Everything has come out great. He is an absolute professional and does tremendous work. He is honest and responsible and has our complete trust. A few projects ago he quoted us a price that we felt was fair. When the project was done he told us that he quoted above what it actually took and charged us LESS than the original quote. Find me another contractor like that. Can't go wrong with Doug!

The Whitcomb team is simply amazing! We hired them for a combination of excavation work, tree removal, and property clean-up. They provided us with a fair quote and helped devise a plan we had not originally considered. The job was completed incredibly timely with great communication, and we couldn't be happier with the results! We can't recommend Whitcomb enough, and we'll definitely be hiring the team again.

We were lucky enough to work with them to redo our mucky, muddy, slippery horse paddocks. They were quick to come out and provided a fair estimate. They were patient with my questions and went above and beyond to work around holidays and wild weather. Our horses are so happy with their refreshed paddocks and I will sleep easier knowing they have good footing to walk around in. The before and after don't do it justice.

**Edit**. More than 1 year later and our paddocks have held up beautifully. Our yard and our paths are all mud but our paddocks are already nice and dry.

I hired someone, who rushed through a job and was clearly just after a quick buck. Left my property a mess. Doug and Ashley came in and completely turned things around. Professional, and personable, they saw my vision, took time to think about it and brought that vision to life—even better than I could have imagined. Their attention to detail, quality of work, and passion they show up with I have found to be rare in this area. My yard is now beautifully designed with an ideal canvas for planting. They surprised me with a staircase made out of boulders they gathered from my property, it’s gorgeous. They not only fixed someone else’s mess, they went above and beyond what I asked. I would highly recommend them if you want landscaping work done right the first time! Will not hesitate to call them back for more work.

I have used Eastern Slopes Construction for a number of projects and cannot recommend them highly enough.
I have had driveways graded and rebuilt, stone delivered, driveways plowed and sanded and trees removed. All of the results have been excellent.
The owner, Chris, is prompt, courteous, and professional and his prices are extremely reasonable.

Super-skilled and knowledgeable! Our driveway has stayed in great shape through seasons. Chris and his team are very kind and responsive.

They did a great job on our driveway! You can tell that Kevin and his workers like what they do and they work like it’s their property. Great job! So glad I went with the reclaim they use great quality material!

Hired Kevin to do some site work for me last year. I was very impressed with the job he did. He was very quick,very professional with a very good price could not be happier with the outcome. would recommend him, and i plan on using him again on next project

We just purchased a new house in Concord and a few days later Mr. Cole showed up to inform me that the city was requiring the builder to tear up the driveway because it was not to code (the builder did not get final approval and the slope was wrong according to the city). He did not have to stop by and let me know but he did. He showed up at the time he had indicated and tore up the driveway and regraded it for paving the next day. The paver did not show up the next day, or the next 4 days. I called Mr. Cole after a couple of days and let him know. Paving is not what his business does, but because he was part of the process, he went above and beyond to get the paver out there to pave the driveway. He didn't have to do that but that's the type of person he is. If you have any excavating work to be done or landscaping in New Hampshire I would put Mr. Coles business at the top of the list. He always responded to my texts or calls and kept me informed of everything going on. I highly recommend him !!!!

Several years ago, Kevin knocked on my door to ask if I needed snow removal services that upcoming winter. I gave him the opportunity to do that and I was delighted with the service he provided. After a few seasons, I asked him if he could help with paving some of my parking lot. He did a fantastic job with that, too. And most recently, Kevin replaced my failed septic tank. I was incredibly impressed how that turned out. He has always been fair, honest and diligent in each of the transactions he's participated in with me. Because of his past performance and business approach, I intend to use him for future jobs as well.

We started working with Kevin last year. Hired him for stump removal, clean up and a paved front walkway for our house. He responds quickly and is very professional. We asked him back this year for escavation work and help leveling our land for a pool. He did a great job, again. We recommended him to our neighbors. Any future jobs we have will go to him. Thanks Kevin!

Hired Kevin last year to rework my driveway, do some excavation work and stump removal in my back yard and I couldn't be happier. Driveways held up well and did a great job with building a retaining wall.
Great work, at a great price. Ill use him from here on out and recommend him to everyone!
Thanks Kevin.

I'm the neighbor mentioned by the guy below who gave a 1 star review. Kevin's been so good to this guy (gave him free firewood and cleaned up my neighbor's mess that he left on my lot last summer); I think it's really unfair that he'd trash Kevin's reputation like this. Kevin cleared our lot over the winter, and will be going back to do site work for new construction within a couple weeks. I'm hoping the neighbor will re-consider his unfair assessment. Kevin has also done other work for us at other properties. He does an amazing job and I highly recommend you choose him for your project!

I needed a whole new septic system. Kevin was the first one to come out and got right back to me with a quote, at a price that was not completely ruinous. He and his team did a great job, using high quality materials and stayed in communication through the whole process. Would definitely use them again.

We hired McLaughlin Excavation to prep an area for a new patio and regrade an unusable area of our yard. Sean did an amazing job and saved on the cost by using our existing material and only bringing in what was needed. He also made sure the rest of the yard was not impacted by the delivery trucks, keeping clean up to a minimum. I would recommend McLaughlin Excavation to anyone.

We had McLaughlin prep our yard for a patio. We ran into an issue where we needed to replace a gas line, and Sean was very helpful with digging the trench for it, and filling it back in, to the specs of the gas company. He also used the remaining dirt to help level out the yard, and cleaned up everything nicely. Sean and his crew really go the extra mile. They made sure the fence was secure for our dogs, when leaving daily and even took all the rocks that were dug up and placed them in a little wall around my garden. I was very impressed with the work ethic and professionalism of Sean and his crew, and highly recommend McLaughlin Excavation!

Couldn’t be happier with Mclaughlin Excavating!!? they were right on time, courteous and easy to work with!
Their pricing was fair and their customer service went above and beyond!
It’s rare to find a company that dependable these days- highly recommend!!!
Shawn’s the owner , real nice guy !

Sean from McLaughlin Excavation was super prompt, friendly, and even made a point to get my job (stump pulling & hole compaction/filling) done on a Sunday despite him probably having other weekend / family plans. He showed up as expected & followed up with me ensuring not to forget about my outreach to him. If I had to restart the search process for a company to complete the work I needed done, I would choose McLaughlin Excavation again. :) Thank you, Sean ~ I hope you & your family have a great summer!

Sean McLaughlin and his team were great to work with! They did a lot of work for us. They did all the excavation for a new patio, walkway and stairs. They leveled and put loam down on our whole yard. Sean did all the work he promised. He was very easy to work with. He communicated his thoughts and ideas to help finish the job properly. His guys were on time and finished the project when expected. They cleaned up after the project, leaving no dirt and rock on all the surfaces in the yard. I would recommend McLaughlin Excavation to anyone needing work.
Thank you Sean and your team!
