Sharon S. says, "I wanted my 40 year-old 4 foot high chain-link fence replaced by a 5 foot high chain-link fence and new gate. Mr. Flores responded promptly to my inquiry and made an appointment. Mr. Flores was pleasant and professional as he walked through my yard, taking measurements while listening to the expectations and pointing out particular areas that might require more attention. My number one priority was to have a safe and secure fenced area for my dogs before the workers left at the end of their work day. No way could there be any open spaces in the fence line! Mr. Flores developed a plan that would meet the safety and security needs of my dogs while managing to quickly replace my fence. I was satisfied with the plan, the work schedule, and the reasonableness of the bid. Work started as anticipated. My property was well respected, with signs of construction kept to a minimum. Work proceeded with no disruption to the normal activities of my household. The work was completed in less time than I anticipated, the mess from construction was fully cleaned up, and cost was entirely consistent with the amount bid. I am thrilled with my new fence. My dogs are secure and safe. Perfect."See more

Danny K. says, "I have nothing but good to say about JB Lawnworks! I was told on a Friday after that my house would be featured on the cover of a real estate magazine if I could have it ready by the following Monday - just 3 days. My wife and I started spring cleaning of the one-acre site but within 2 hours we realized there was no way we could do it by ourselves. I saw the reviews for JB, left a message on Saturday and despite the weekend they responded promptly, had a full cleaning crew on Sunday, brought in trucks of high quality topsoil and mulch, and by the time the photographer came on Monday, the place was in showing condition! They kept me informed of the cost as the job progressed, and the total cost was very reasonable, especially under the circumstances. From the first contact to the last, JB was wonderful to deal with. They were professional, helpful and friendly all the way! I will be using them again, and recommend them without hesitation! D. Kelly"See more

Jordan K. says, "Working with Lewis Contracting was awesome from start to finish. They were extremely knowledgeable about the project and even help us make some decisions to help make the overall process easier for us down the road. They were easy to communicate with and came out within a day to scope out the project, give a bid, and scheduled to come out the very next day. They finished the project quick and I have zero complaints. We will be using their services again without hesitation."See more

Reviews for Salt Lake City excavating contractors on Thumbtack

From Pedro H.

Pyramids Construction
Pyramids Construction
We hired Pyramids Construction to excavate and grade a new patio and install a water management system for the downspouts of our house. The work was done professionally and in the promised time. Eder was flexible, respectful, and suggested several improvements to our original design. We're completely satisfied with the result, and I would definitely hire Pyramids Construction again.
