HCR Excavating did a great job pulling in my drain pipe, now my water drains off my yard. And the price was good.

My project was to excavate a damaged 24-in stormwater pipeline that had burst and was flooding my property and causing damage everywhere. It had been causing destruction and difficulty for four years. The county had mandated that we needed to get it repaired within 90 days and HCR came to the rescue. I cannot stress enough the extreme professionalism and expertise demonstrated by every single member of the team. One of the best things about HCR was the level of communication. They were in constant communication with me regarding the schedule, the requirements, and the coordination with the county. The finished project is fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough of this very professional company. You might be able to hire "Larry Darrell and Darrell" cheaper but they will not deliver the results that this fine company does! Go with the best. Go with HCR excavation!

My wife and I had a great experience working with Robert and his team. They were on time for the initial estimate and worked with me to workshop the overall scope of our project (which was a drainage system for neighborhood overflow through our property and general standing water after heavy rain). He had some great suggestions for how to complete the work to best complete the objective while also preserving as much of the land as possible. He and his team worked for a week to get the drain in with the proper slope with as little damage to the property outside the work area as possible. Ultimately, they were driven out by a large snowstorm at the end of the week, however. But after months of wet weather, they finally were able to come back out and put the final touches on the work area to smooth out the finished surface. Even after receiving the full invoice amount, they made sure to stay in contact with me to schedule the follow-up work. They were very responsive through this whole process, and while they weren't the cheapest quote I received for the project (not a huge difference though), they gave me the confidence that they cared and that it would be done correctly. I am already working with Robert on future quotes for other work on our property and would recommend their team to anyone looking for similar help. Update: Robert and his team came out to do some more work for us to demo some old structures on our property and did another amazing job. They were very accommodating in making sure they caused as little impact to our land and grass as possible. I expect more updates to this review in the future.

I couldn’t be happier with HCR Excavating. I was looking for an excavating contractor that could get my property ready for my new home, and they did an amazing job. They cleared my land, installed my driveway, trenched for my water and electric, leveled my homesite, poured my footers, and installed my septic system. They kept me informed throughout the project, answered my questions, and made sure everything was done the right way. If you’re looking for an honest, dependable excavating company that does quality work, I highly recommend HCR Excavating.

HCR removed an overgrow patch of weeds and old tree stumps for us and installed a much more fun in-ground trampoline. They also helped clean up another area of our property and went out of their way to help with repairing flood damage we sustained in recent storms. Polite team and respectful workers. Highly recommend.

Thanks to Robert and his team for the professionalism they showed today. I had them come to my business property for some quotes. I went over what we are looking for and they took the wheel. Looking forward to working with these guys.
