All I have to say about George's Ditching is Great price. Great work. Great people.
Okay, I might have a little more to add...
First let me start with the owners Dennis and Rocky - sons of the founder (George). These guys were raised right. They really understand the value of customer service. When I called and spoke to their very friendly office receptionist, both brothers (owners) were at my door within a few hours. They quickly assessed my drainage situation, and were very fair when it came to pricing. But their service goes a lot further than a good price.
Great communication skills. I really liked these guys, and I was completely upfront with them regarding the challenges of my job/drainage project. You see, I had just laid a bunch of new concrete next to the house, and I didn't want that tampered with. Not only that, his guys would have to hand dig around a gas line I had running to my garage. I think they appreciated my candour. Rather than trying to hit me up for extra cash, or make a big deal about the situation, they quickly assessed all of the challenges I was throwing at them and calmly explained how they intended to overcome them. We were off to a great start.
They suggested we get started the next week, and all of the paper work and permits were quickly put in place, without me having to lift a finger. These guys run a VERY professional operation.
When the site foreman, Rick, showed up the day of the job I was even more reassured I had made the right choice going with George's ditching. This guy was truly awesome. Very skilled with a backhoe, and he treated my property with the same level of respect as if he was working on his own house.
Every now and then, I would ask the 3-4 guys working on my sewer line replacement a question, and they were all very respectful and happy to answer any questions or concerns I had.
Now here's the best part. THESE GUYS ARE INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT! I can't stress how impressed I was with how quickly they were able to locate and replace my new sewer line. They had anticipated that it was a two day job, but they were completely done within 7 hours - all in less than one day. And that's with all my nit-picky requirements!
If you're not familiar with the "new" latest technique they use to replace a sewer line, I'll provide you a brief primer on what I learned/discovered. First of all, they no longer have to dig a deep trench across your entire yard. Really! They just dig a small (3'X3' hole) on either end and use a hydraulic system to insert a new strong PVC replacement. Owners Dennis and Rocky even brought a sample with them on their first visit.
I digress, anyhow back to Rick the site foreman. Rick was extremely talented with how to strategically dig the required holes to meet my requirements, and do as little damage as possible to my landscaping. Then after the pipe was replaced they took great care to return the clay/dirt, and packed it down well.
When they were all done, Rick went over sweeping up my new concrete with a broom. How's that for a complete job.
I only wish there was a way to give these guys a 6/5. I have no hesitation to highly recommend them for any ditching/sewer line job. Good people. read more
