Septic System Installation and Replacement
$30,000
I would give Austyn 100 stars if I could. He made the project go smoothly. His personality, level headedness, his problem solving skills, knowledge of his craft and the ability to work with others so appreciated. While excavating for the septic Leitchfield, I had him do other work on the property, moving earth and building a retaining wall. When he discovered a huge cavern where earth had eroded to the point of danger, he immediately ordered everything and had it fixed in a few days. He was here on time, and he stayed on the job until it was finished. Here ever day. That isn't always the case, especially when unexpected things (like a cavern) show up and the job takes longer than planned. Everything turned out perfectly, we passed the city inspections on the first try. You can't go wrong with Austyn, he is someone you can trust.

Austyn gave me and accurate and fair quote. He showed up on time and completed the job in less time than allotted. We were able to complete more than we had planned because he was such an efficient operator.

Refreshingly and uniquely competent and honest. Amazing the speed with which he works (no dragging out the hours to augment the bill) w/o cutting corners, maintaining detailed precision and more often with even better results than what was asked as he employs his experience, humbling suggesting more productive options and ideas. Have hired him for multiple jobs over the years and will continue to do so without question. Can't recommend him highly enough.

All the jobs that Austyn has completed on our property have been phenomenal. Last year he used a couple different tractors, because even though we just have a few acres that need work, there are always several projects. He communicates well from start to finish and organizes his time efficiently. I have never seen a more skilled heavy equipment operator. We are thrilled with his work and highly recommend him.

Excavation work in this area is expensive. But with the right person - Austyn - you get what you pay for. He speeds through jobs efficiently and with attention to detail, offering updates & suggestions along the way. He knows his stuff and how to stick to the budget. I'm planning to have him back to do more work before too long.

Austyn is very talented at operating the escalating machinery. He also is particularly accurate at his grading and uses suitable tools for checking and planning the approach.. These are the reasons I gave him the high marks. Also he is quite a nice fellow. Rob Grandfield Project was finished January 2024 Larkin Valley Hills, Watsonville/Aptos

Austyn Kindscher is both meticulous and detail oriented. He has performed quality professional work on multiple projects for us including fencing, grading, drainage, and stall/arena building. Our equestrian property was transformed from a muddy mess into a winter proof and well drained facility. His insight into how to solve problems is above par and I will continue to use this company for all my fencing, grading, excavation, drainage, and equestrian facility site prep needs. 5 star. 100% recommend.
