“We are so happy with the work that Jim and Alan completed on our property. Our yard was extremely uneven and there was a lot of old debris buried throughout that needed to be removed. They hauled away everything we asked them too and left the yard level. It is finally usable - and our dog is much happier! ... We will definitely be hiring Jim again for projects in the future.”

"Jim went well above and beyond for our project! We had a steep hill leading up to the edge of our house and wanted to try and level it out so we could build our above ground pool there. I reached out to Jim about the excavating and leveling portion of the project but let him know my aspirations for the entire project (i.e. building the pool and building a deck around part of the pool to connect with our existing back deck."

"If you need any excavation work to be done at your house, do not hire anyone without first reaching out to Jim. From my initial request for a quote to the finished project, Jim was highly responsive. He came down to my property for a free quote, discussed the details of the project and what I was trying to accomplish while offering helpful insight and scheduled the work the following week. He was punctual, professional, and did the job exactly like we discussed. I received three other quotes and his rate was very reasonable. I couldn’t recommend Jim more and will absolutely hire him again if / when I need more."

"JG excavating was outstanding. Jim not only performed the work expected but came back later to ensure the work was exactly as expected. He repaired a road on my farm that had been washed out by rain. See finished photo. Highly recommend."
