    Smoothed out base rock

    I can't give Alberto and his crew enough credit for a job well done, great prices, and super great to work with. I called for a quote to demo a bunch of concrete and asphalt for a new patio project (DIY). Alberto gave me several options for pricing depending on how much or little I would do myself. We ultimately hired him to do the majority of the removal and hauling away, and even bringing back base rock for the patio. They came in and removed everything quickly and effectively. I asked if they had recommendations for compacting the rock and Alberto said he and his crew could come back a few days later (after I built a French drain) to compact. Sure enough they came back, evened out the rock and compacted it well. Alberto even gave me some tips for my paver installation (he used to install pavers). Overall very happy with the whole experience.

    I don't write many reviews anymore, and honestly, I haven't had many contractor experiences that…read morewould motivate me to change that. But Lassiter Excavation was so good that I couldn't continue to be lazy.  For context, I was replacing an old 35,000-gallon swimming pool with a skinnier lap pool. Lassiter started by completely removing the massive 1975 pool, including every scrap of concrete and piping.  Then they backfilled and compacted. Working to my soils engineer's specifications, they imported and compacted 18 truckloads of quarry fines in carefully controlled 8-inch lifts through the full 12-foot depth of the deep end, all the way to finished grade. They used multiple pieces of equipment, including jumping jacks, a Bobcat, and a vibratory sheepsfoot roller (which I had to look up), and they coordinated compaction testing throughout the process.  When they were done, it looked like a pool had never been there. The site was fully prepared for the new excavation, which Lassiter then completed flawlessly.  I measured their forms with a laser level and laser tape measure, and length, width, diagonals, position and elevations were all within 1/8 inch. That's impressive considering the new lap pool is nearly 60 feet long. When they were finished digging, the walls and floor were razor straight and right on their marks. The crews were outstanding -- friendly, hardworking, detail-oriented, and consistently professional. They maintained an exceptionally clean jobsite throughout the project and even helped me reclaim some old redwood decking.  Special thanks to Santana, Ricardo, Daniel, Jose and team for answering all my questions and caring so much about the end result. If you're considering any excavation work, I highly recommend reaching out to Lassiter Excavation and talking with Bob. They exceeded my expectations in every respect.

Have them look at your job and know you can hire these guy with confidence! They know what they are doing and understand dirt, soil and everything that goes into it. Very happy with their work and their positive energy on the job excellent customer service and just good people. I still have more work pending I will use them again!

Pat runs a…read morefamily business and has been in the game for many years, so his expertise was invaluable in planning and execution. I had a big hill in the front yard that was causing all sorts of drainage issues, and was unusable. I was looking to level and put in a retaining wall / address some pooling problems. Pat's vision was excellent in planning the layout, and recommending features that would be aesthetically pleasing and functional. He recommended a swale to stop the drainage issues once and for all, and a natural rock wall to match our house. During the work, Pat and his son Brian were communicative and responsive. His crew showed up every day and worked hard to get the big job done quickly. The end result was spectacular! Take a look at the pictures - we now have a front yard we can be proud of and a bulletproof drainage system. With every big job, small issues arise. Pat quickly came out to address those issues, even months after the job was done, so we could be sure the end result will last for many years. One last thing - being in the business for so long, Pat has a rolodex of trusted contacts that supplement his work to keep the job moving. 5/5 work!

The morning HES and crew arrived, I had second thoughts on removing a certain area of my Satillo tiled deck and tiled patio. Haney was so understanding and explained that he'd start on the concrete and enclosure removal to give me time to see/decide when they get to the deck portion. This put me right at ease. When his crew arrived, they got right on task, like a systematic work plan. This was so reassuring for me (i've had my share of disappointments in the past from contractors.) HES crew delivered. "THANK YOU". They did such great work and sure know what they are doing. This crew worked so hard and worked practically nonstop in the HEAT. They had a positive vibe which was nice to see while doing such hard work. THE JOB / was to demolish a large patio with thick concrete patio, remove a partial patio enclosure and Saltillo tiles on a large upper deck area. They also had to saw off tiles for a sewer reroute to be accessed and coordinated this with the sewer contractor. They are truly 5 star fantastic team. Im happy i found HES. The value for this project was very reasonable.
