    Karl's Excavating

    (11 reviews)

    I did my due diligence when I needed to have a section of our sewer line replaced. I got quotes…read morefrom 4 different companies in the Amherst Area. Just getting the estimates was a bit of a struggle requiring me to make many follow up calls. To be fair, all the companies were not great at communication. Karl's bid was the lowest and they seemed to have a ton of experience in this work. The work was delayed by eversource because there was a utility pole nearby - not Karl's fault. On the day of the project, Karl's arrived when they said they would, completed the project in a timely manner and did an excellent job of leaving our yard clean and freshly seeded. I was looking over their shoulder some of the time and they answered all of my questions. The whole dig was done skillfully. Then, to my surprise, when the final bill arrived the total we were charged was $1,000 LESS than quoted! I'd use them again and recommend them to others.

    I would not recommend Karl's Excavating…read more My husband and I bought a house in late 2021. The septic system had failed a Title 5 inspection and needed to be repaired. We agreed with the previous owner that the repairs would be done after we moved. The previous owner, who was paying for the repairs, selected Karl's Excavating to do the work, and we ended up having numerous problems dealing with them. Karl's took a saw to anything in our yard that they thought was in their way, without our permission. We were told that in order to access the back yard, Karl's would need to cut down some trees, and they told us which ones they would cut. However, on the first day that they came to do work, they cut down a tree that they had not told us they were going to remove. If they really needed to cut it in order to access the back yard, we would have given them permission, but they cut it without even letting us know. Similarly, there is a wooden retaining wall and attached set of wooden stairs in our back yard near the septic tank. Karl's took a saws-all and cut off the bottom step. Not only did they not tell us ahead of time that they would be doing this, but they did a sloppy job of it, leaving a jagged edge where the step met the wall. Again, if they needed to do this in order to access the septic tank, we would have authorized it, but they never gave us a heads-up. Additionally, when we later mentioned that we might just take out all of the stairs, the workers warned us that we might not be able to do that because the stairs--one of which they had cut off without permission--were structurally tied in to the retaining wall. No one at Karl's seems to be in charge of project management or communicating with customers. The only person who seems to have any idea what is going on at Karl's is the owner, Steve. But Steve does not communicate effectively with either customers or his own employees. When we would reach out to ask questions, Steve would rarely get back to us, instead delegating that task to one of his employees, who didn't have adequate information to answer our questions. On a couple of occasions, when we mentioned to workers at our house that we had emailed Steve to ask him a question, they rolled their eyes and told us, "Good luck with that." I'm sure everyone at Karl's was sick of us trying to contact them, but we wouldn't have kept contacting them if they had just answered our questions. There are other problems that I could get into, but this review is long enough as it is. So far, we haven't had any issues with our septic system itself, so hopefully the work that Karl's did on that was okay. But nothing about my interactions with Karl's gives me confidence in the quality of their work.

    I am 70 now....still active...but lawn care --something I've always taken pride in---has become…read moremore tedious to consider spending time doing...especially given climate change impacts, my health concerns, the grade and nature of my lawn. Given family concerns, home care, my dog's needs, my wife, my children ?? I always have SOMETHING to consider doing, somewhere to go....like all of us? It's just that "life" in general, sometimes gets in the way. We have used Better View for fertiliziing and turf treatments. But this year, I made the decision to let them handle mowping as well.....Eric has typically been my fertilize applicator, and the two guys who came the first time to mow, edge and trim? Chase and Bryce. The lawn has never looked better...and whatever "atomic" lawn fertilizer and lime that they are using? it must be radioactive! The grass is a deep green and thick! And it grows so fast! (I wonder....if I put some on my scalp....would it thicken my hair?) Anyway....Better View? You are a "class act" 5 Star company! My wife also agrees, as she says that it is always a pleasure when she needs to deal with administrative matters! So thank you Better View!
