They excavated a trench for a new sewer line for my ADU. The job required to NOT damage the gas line that was buried somewhere. He had no problem at all making sure he carefully worked around the pipe. The second project was building a retaining wall. Both projects were extremely well executed - no problems.

Wow be careful with this New Contractor!…read more We secured an estimate and made plans to get the job done 9 days in advance. The day before the job he shows up and comes over to chat and decline's doing the job. He tells me face to face "I'm just going to pass". I'm like what the heck. Our company went through Angie's list to get bids and this guy is unreliable unless it's convenient for him. Maybe too hot out for him to work. We have other contractors coming into work the next day and now they have to be canceled. So he cost them their jobs as well. We have other bids but now 2 weeks out due to M & M Hauling & Bobcat.

Chris came out and gave us a quote of 19,000 to flatten some property to place a garage. He started…read moreand it seemed to go ok with his crew. There were issues with a piece of equipment he rented-not his fault, that prolonged the project by many weeks. At the end, he gave us a new quote of 30,000. He stated this was for hours worked and many more days than originally needed. Unfortunately we didn't pay attention to days he was there, hours nor crew. There were days he didn't come, his crew would be there for an hour or so and we didn't keep track. Not once did he mention how much more it would be. He made a statement that he'd have to rent the equipment longer and that would increase the price, but that was all. We used our entire savings, and had to pull out 10,000 from our 401K to pay him. We now have a dirt lot we can't do anything with due to no funds. The work itself isn't bad. The job was well done. But I'd keep track of exact hours, crews and make everything written down in the contract. This destroyed us financially.

John the owner is a solid man. I had several quotes and his price was very fair…read more I was worried that the quality of service would be diminished because of this price but in fact he provided superior service and was skillful in his craft. Along the way he was very good at communicating with me and arrived on time, each time. The job was a tough job. I needed a hillside slope cut back for a new retaining wall. I also needed an old retaining wall cut down. It proved more difficult than either I or John anticipated. The land in Mira Mesa is rock solid and difficult to excavate and the access to my hillside was limited, but John persevered and got the job done. He is a man of his word. His crew is also friendly and mindful of minimizing their footprint on my property. At the end of the day I would 100 % recommend this company. For many years I never thought I would get the backyard I wanted and now it's going to happen because of his help. Thank you sir.

We talked to several different professionals regarding how to fix a drainage issue we had. John…read morewas the first to suggest grading the area to direct the rainwater away from our retaining wall. He did a superior job flattening the top of the back yard slope which provided about 2,250 square feet usable outdoor space we didn't have before. We then decided to have him compete the area by having DG put down. He also brought in rocks from the local quarry to do a border around our slope landscaping. This was a cheaper solution than the local rock company and I liked it better. We kept going and he put in stone steps and removed a front 40' stucco planter for us (preparation for next year's project). He next designed and graded and a 70' dry creek bed, finishing it with rocks and mulch. He gave reasonable prices, good response and is a very hard worker. We plan on doing our half acre front yard next year with his help.

I would call him every day and he would say this week will get it done and he dragged it for 4 months. He abonden the job for a month and I hired a new guy, this guy got it done in 3 days.

I needed an SDG&E electrical conduit upgrade for an ADU project at my SFR residence. Greg's bid was very reasonable and even helped with the permit process to get the ball rolling. Communication was great and work was performed flawlessly. Greg, Nick and Charles are skilled operators, great to work with and take the time to explain everything that is going on as the project proceeds. I can recommend Hidden Valley Backhoe for underground utility construction for homeowners without exception and will use them again when the opportunity presents itself.
