What Our Clients Say
EXCELLENT Based on 7 reviews Posted on Adam LeisterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had CT Excavation & Landscaping replace our front retaining wall, install crushed granite and lay new turf, and we’re really happy with how it turned out. From the start, Chris was easy to deal with. He helped us choose materials, sent through supplier links and worked through the layout with us. We made a design change during the job and they adjusted without drama. There were a few weather delays, but we were kept in the loop the whole time. The finish is very clean. The crushed granite was used too widen the driveway, create a bin area and start a side path. The turf was laid neatly and Chris also gave us guidance on watering so it would establish well. The team were punctual, polite and kept the site tidy. Pricing felt fair, a few extras were included and we were comfortable leaving them to get on with it. The front yard looks great and we’ve already had neighbours comment. The customer service focus was outstanding and they only wanted us to be happy with the end result. A company you can trust.Posted on Kate GriffithsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely helpfult, great service and work. Thank you ChrisPosted on Rodger LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Chris from CT Excavations & Landscaping for a quote to excavate our front yard and couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was punctual, polite, and extremely accommodating from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and he even picked up the soil I needed, which was very much appreciated. The job was done efficiently and professionally, and the whole process was completely stress-free. I would highly recommend CT Excavations & Landscaping to anyone looking for reliable and friendly service.Posted on C DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend CT Excavations. Chris and KC were professional, reliable, and true to their word from start to finish. The job was well planned, cost-effective, and completed efficiently with the right equipment for every stage of the work. Communication was clear throughout, and they regularly checked in to make sure we were happy with the progress. The site was kept clean and tidy, which was impressive given the nature of excavation work. Their honesty and attention to detail really stood out. During the job, one or two tiles were damaged, which was expected and not their fault. They immediately offered to replace them, but I declined as it comes with this type of work. Their willingness to take responsibility anyway says a lot about their integrity. They also offered to complete additional work outside the original scope at no extra cost. Overall, CT Excavations provided an stress-free experience, and I would happily use Chris and KC again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional excavation services.Posted on Barbie FrailTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and Lincoln have been wonderful. I sought a quote on Thursday and had my new lawn by Saturday afternoon with zero hassle and an amazing result. I appreciate Chris' honesty and attention to detail and am very happy with cost and the aftercare. Thank you.
