I had quoted out a few places to make us a retaining wall by our basement half-windows, as we were getting significant water ingress and drainage was a major issue when we had any kind of heavy rain. Ben and his guys at Soil Friends quoted a price in between others that I found, and Ben was quick to get MISDIG out even before we agreed to have them do the work, in order to make sure he could plan drainage as anticipated, which seemed extremely proactive! We had multiple 1000 to 1500 lb boulders that needed to be removed, and they were able to get all of them out and away without any damage to our home. The work took a little longer than expected due to some weather and resource challenges, but didn't drag on excessively. The price we were given was not a "quote" per se, but rather the actual price we paid, regardless of time and equipment/work required. After more than a year now with our new retaining wall, we can confidently say we have been thrilled with the outcome, both aesthetically and functionally, and we would recommend Soil Friends to anyone who needs similar work done! I've included pictures here of before, during, and after for reference. Thanks so much to Ben & his team!

Ben and his crew did excellent work. He followed through on everything he promised in regrading the yard and placing in a superb drainage system that solved a water problem in the basement. He was careful of the overall landscaping as well.

In a word, Soil Friends Excavation is FANTASTIC! Ben and Bob built a large retaining wall on a steep slope and were with us for almost 3 weeks. From start to finish, they CARED about the project as if building for their own home, 100% dedicated. Every day positive and upbeat, answered questions patiently, made excellent suggestions, and built a stunning wall! You won't find a more friendly, efficient, hard-working, dedicated crew than Ben's team. They truly go above and beyond. Highly and enthusiastically recommended!

Cannot recommend Soil Friends Excavation enough! They did a fabulous job on our driveway extension! Ben was always friendly and thorough in our conversation when planning the project and I was amazed at how fast he got the project done! Even with a pending blizzard, I was half expecting our project to have to be postponed, but Ben made sure to not only start the project, but completed it! Thanks so much, Soil Friends, we could not be happier with our new driveway!

Great company to to have work done with. An estimate was completed quickly and we were able to have our project started earlier than expected. They work very hard through some hot days. We couldn't be happier with the finished product. Thanks for making our property look so nice with leveling and new grass.

Ben at Soil Friends put in the Lightfoot Mud Management panels around my new horse barn. They installed them according to the manufacturer's instructions and went above and beyond by being precise in their measurements and quality of work. They added extra topcoat of rocks, cleaned up afterwards and repaired any tracking in the grass by adding extra grass seed. I am more than happy with the results!
