GS Excavation & Hydroseeding Services

Garrett is a pleasure to talk to and is a polite young man. I contracted with Garrett to dig a trench for my septic line, regrade an area where my pond overflows, and hydroseed both areas. Within 30 days, the trench collapsed over a foot deep in several large areas. I let him know immediately and he said to let it finish settling and he would come back the next year. The pond area that he regarded was still holding water too. He told me that he had since bought a laser level and could properly grade it now. The problem is that Garrett wanted to charge me $2000 more! I was disappointed that Garrett would not stand behind his work, so I sought the opinion of several excavators to tell me if this was fair. The overwhelming response was that the trench was not properly compacted in layers while backfilling. I am aware that some settling can be expected, but not to this extreme. I tried working with Garrett and he offered to lower the price. I explained that I am retired and on a fixed income, and that I cannot afford to pay for things twice. I offered to do all of the dirt work myself if he would just reseed, but he would not even agree to that without more money. I like Garrett as a person and wish him well with his business, but this was my experience.

He showed on time for the estimate, he showed up on time for the work. The estimated that was given was charged. They did excellent work.

Very friendly and professional. They did what they said they were going to do.
