All my projects went smoothly. Riley's expert knowledge in pond construction is second to none. I explained what I wanted, and he walked around the location i wanted the pond built and came up with a few options that grew the size of my pond by 20%. I cannot Express how well Ryley and his crew worked together to make my dream come true. I highly recommend Dotson excavating

I have used Dotson Excavating several times over the past five years and have been extremely satisfied with the results from every project. I have had them install retaining walls to redirect rain runoff, grade large areas and remove trees to facilitate large landscaping projects, reconfigure my driveways, repair problematic ponds, snow removal, and clear large amounts of land from trees and debris. The crew has always been professional and achievement oriented. Project goals have always been met on time and on budget. They work efficiently and have met critical timelines despite the challenges presented by most projects due to their abilities, and the proficient utilization of their equipment. Their work ethic is exemplary and they have integrity. This company serves as a great example in the area of customer service and attention to detail that industry standards strive to attain. I strongly recommend them in any endeavor they pursue - Keep up the great work.
Description of Work: Reconstructed driveway to prevent rain runoff, added rock to the driveway, installed drainage culverts to facilitate erosion control, installed retaining walls.

Went very well, ended up having to lay pipe for greater distance than expected due to depth had to dig to get below water issues. He also built a retaining wall as the basement is a walk out and the back yard is about 6 feet below the side yard where work was completed. The only issue is work was done with loader/backhoe and he was unable to track in the trench as well as would have liked so have had some "sinkage" where additional dirt will need to be placed on where the pipe was laid, It probably should have been mounded just a bit instead of leveled. He has done quite a bit of land clearing for me and I am very happy with his ability to use a Dozer, much much much better than previous work I had done. He is my go to guy for all dozer,excavating work.
Description of Work: excavated next to house and installed drainage for basement water control, had to lay pipe for approx. 150 feet from house for adequate drainage. built retaining wall for walkout basement. Has cleared land for me in past Reilly is excellent dozer operator and excavator KNOWS what he is doing when operating his equipment.
