I contacted Maestro Excavating as I needed to replace approx 180 feet of water line and all that…read morewas required for such a project. Mike attended the site and then provided me with an estimate which included everything from trenching, stump removal, cutting a portion of the asphalt driveway, trucking in and placement of sand, soil backfill, removal of debris etc.etc. I had no idea of the steps involved to perform such a job but Mike certainly did. From the time he arrived with his trencher til the end of the project, he was on site every day, communicated well with me , dealt with any/all issues, made recommendations, was flexible when my final inspection was delayed a day, flexible working with the plumbers and over delivered on this project well beyond my expectations. He is an expert in his field and as a business person exhibits such integrity, passion, and honesty in all he does. He even made recommendations to help keep within my budget without compromising the project quality. I am thrilled with the job he did and would strongly recommend Mike and Maestro Excavating. They get a 5 star from me. I will definitely use Mike for any of my future projects large or small. Ann S

Maestro Excavating is 100% the best excavating contractor you will find!…read more When we moved into our new home, the sloped property was significantly overgrown and in need of extensive grading, shaping, drainage work, tree work, and garbage removal.

From the very start, Mike at Maestro Excavating was absolutely phenomenal to work with in taking care of everything and making problems disappear. His intelligent approach, great vision, and tireless effort brought our dreams to life, transforming our land in beautiful ways we could not have even imagined. (Think Cinderella getting her fairy godmother type of transformation!) We trusted Mike completely, and he consistently over-delivered! His communication was thoughtful, clear, and professional, making every step of the process both understandable and exciting as we watched the transformation unfold before our eyes. I would hurry home each day from work to see more and more incredible progress! We are in awe of the results! What sets Mike apart is his intuition, integrity, and true expertise. We empowered him to make key judgment calls in how to address some important and intricate aspects of our property's landscape, and his decisions were nothing short of brilliant--far better than anything we could have directed ourselves!

Due to Covid he was having difficulty sourcing the height we were looking for but was very persistent and found exactly what we wanted. Discussed the plan, did a walk through, a reasonable quote was provided, a date was set for installation, the crew showed up, completed the job professionally and we are thrilled with the outcome. Joel is always a pleasure to work with, the staff are always professional and they get the job done! Highly recommend this company for your landscaping needs.

We were impressed with his suggestions prior to hiring him so gave him the ok. When we returned several hours later we couldn't honestly see what the $1000 had bought us. Almost nothing we had wanted done was accomplished and we did discuss things on-site. Not sure how long they were here but we were definitely disappointed! We honestly can't recommend him.

His work is exemplary. He cleans up after every job and shows up when he says he will. Three years ago I was told by the city I had to remove a tree. They told me it would cost me at least 5000.00 because the tree was so huge and was so close to my neighbour's property line. James did it for $1200.00 including clean up and disposal and there was no damage to any yard or property on either side of the line. I recommend him to all my friends and coworkers who have since used him with great satisfaction.
