Jonny Wooo says, "We have hired Evolution for different projects over the past 5 years. We have an amazing 600SF concrete patio that still looks brand new (they poured it 5 years ago). They added an additional parking pad next to our driveway for our camper. Most recently they regraded and landscaped our backyard. On top of good workmanship, they are kind, communicative, and stick to their schedule. I work in the roadway construction industry and met them on a local project years ago. They did everything to standard specifications, no cutting corners, no arguing. I knew at that point this was a company I felt safe hiring for my home projects. I've recommended them to friends and family with the same results. We look forward to the next project whenever that may be."See more

Reviews for Portland excavating contractors on Thumbtack

From Stephen L.

Concrete Kings JP Excavation

Concrete Kings JP Excavation

I had Dan and William come out to do some excavation work (but not concrete). Dan replied to my Thumbtack project post quickly, and showed up a day later to provide me with a free estimate. They were able to get a mini-backhoe in my backyard, turning what would have been about 3-5 days of digging by hand into a 2 day project. William is an artist with the backhoe and operated it with a level of finesse that was impressive. They disposed of the soil as well as removed a bunch of junk from my side yard. While I was a bit disappointed at the amount of dirt that ended up on an adjacent rock walkway, there really wasn’t a good way to avoid it; I just wish I’d raked up the rocks first. I would definitely recommend Dan and William — they were friendly, easy to work with, and responsive to my requests. They made what would have taken me a month to do happen in a couple days, and saved me a ton of backaches, blisters, and headaches.
