I was extremely pleased with Kevin at VA Forestry Mulching and Excavating. He came out promptly to…read moreprovide an estimate and offered valuable advice on my property. Kevin was very knowledgeable about zoning restrictions and explained how the grading of my land could impact water retention information that was important before removing trees. The final result was excellent. He was punctual, respectful of my property and my neighbor's property line, and even went above and beyond by completing some additional work since the original scope was finished ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Kevin for anyone needing forestry mulching or excavating services.

He walked our entire area with us and thoroughly discussed what he would exactly do. His communication was excellent. He truly cares about doing what is right and best for his customers and the environment. We had gotten several estimates from other companies, and the communication with those companies was severely lacking. Kevin's quote was less than half the price and his work also encompassed cleaning and clearing up significantly more area than what we were quoted from the others. While he was working, he stopped several times to confirm he cleared exactly what we had requested. He also mulched up a large pile of cut branches that we were in the process of disposing of, that was not quoted in our estimate. Kevin was very polite, professional, knowledgeable and thorough. Our experience working with him highly exceeded our expectations. He went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. We highly recommend him and would absolutely use him again. The final result is awesome and it is great to have our views back.

Our septic tank kept filling up after being pumped within a month, just to find out that there was…read morea busted pipe. This created a problem in our leech bed, thus flooding parts of our yard with standing sewage and water. We contacted Compass Excavating, and in the same day, owner/operator Jared came over and gave us a very fair and affordable estimate. He and his crew were in and out in 2 days, leaving our home with a fixed sewage system, level yard and sound piece of mind. We can now rest at night knowing confidently, that the job was done effectively through knowledge, experience and friendly contact. I would absolutely reccomend Compass Excavating to anyone in need of this kind of service. 5 all the way! Thank you guys! Benjamin R. And Liz Frederick

I hired AJ to handle a very complex grading issue around my 200 year old historic home. AJ…read morelistened carefully to what I shared with him and studied the problem conscientiously. He came up with a wholesale plan to grade the terrain, add a retaining wall and beautiful garden space, and install an underground drainage system. It has now been a year and I have not had any water in my basement. AJs crew did a beautiful job with the wall and garden area. AJ was very responsive, worked with me, and honored his commitments. AJs wife handled the paperwork and provided wonderful suggestions for the beautification of the project. I can not say the price was cheap, but the quality, customer service, and most importantly - AJs knowledge of terrain and working with complex grading problems made the cost well worth it. I am very happy with the project's outcome.

We are so pleased with our new back yard!!…read more The wonderful gentlemen from FHE turned our grassy slope into a useable terraced space in just a week! We had a hard-to-mow yard on a hill that we didn't use, and that wasn't drained. Every hard rain resulted in a wet basement. The crew from FHE worked with us for weeks to get plans just right, then they came and worked and made it real! We now have two flat levels with a retaining wall and stairs. We can actually set furniture out now, and the yard is drained properly. They reseeded the lawn and laid down straw before they left. They cleaned up after themselves and left everything looking beautiful! They always made sure I could park where I needed to and could access the back door. They worked around my lilacs and were careful not to disrupt too much. Best of all is the fact that these gentlemen were courteous and spoke well to us and to each other. I didn't have to listen to any garbage or nastiness while they worked. It was an expensive project, but we feel we got good value for what we paid. Yes - gas and materials are pricey right now - that's just the way it is. But these guys did their best to do our project right, and we are thrilled! Call them if you need work done - they'll treat you right and work with you!
