Client Reviews

We had been having trouble with flooding in our horse walkouts and a local, well known company had been stringing us along for over a year. I heard of Nellinger Excavation, so I sent them a message. I received a call back in less than a day, and Sam came to look at our job within a few days. He saw what our issue was and he came up with a plan, which was extremely similar to what the other company said they would do. We scheduled our job, but had to postpone it a few times,… Read more “Brad Venzon”

We recently had Sam help us with a few residential projects for us, taking down a few dead trees and helping us make room for new ones. He was always prompt, professional, and the price just can’t be beat. I appreciate how careful he was with our existing landscaping and yard, too. Highly recommend Nellinger Excavation for your big or small… Read more “Emily Fussner”

We took a chance and hired someone to redo our driveway and expand it more. If people knew our driveway before knows how much grass mixture there was and how run down it was getting due to driving and rain. We love how this turned out from Liberty Excavating!

We are planning on having him do more projects in the… Read more “Patrick Lazoen”

Issac was great to work with. Having to replace a septic field discharge tile in Feb. was a challenge in itself. We called and had an estimate the same day. He was there to start digging the next day. Between snowy, wet weather and not exactly knowing where the problem was he got us up and going in no time. He backfield and leveled the yard with great care to make it perfect. We would highly recommend MC Excavating to anyone needing this type of… Read more “Randy Scoon”

Sam is very thorough and does his job well. I had him out for a 5 hour run and was very happy with his work.

Overall very happy and would use service… Read more “Josh Turner”

After trying to find multiple excavators in the area, being promised one company would do the work and then delaying and delaying we thought we would never get someone to repair our leaking pond overflow! We saw a Coal Creek Excavation post on Facebook and messaged them. Sam came out within a couple of days, said he would do the work, and we had a written estimate the next day!! He started the job the next week and completed it in 1 1/2 days! They did an excellent job, cleaned the job site and now we have… Read more “Perry Cruce”
