They did a great job on multiple area project that included excavation, grading, drainage and septic tank installation. Rick, Brad and Allen were all professional, friendly and real pleasure to work with. Rick was able to perform very precise operations with the excavator and ensured everything was cleaned up and looking good before they left. Would recommend them to anyone in their service area and would consider them for any projects of my own in the future.

Such a great company with an eye for detail! Rick was professional, courteous and honest. They showed up as promised every day and communicated with us throughout the project. Price was more than fair and the attention to detail was more than we had ever expected for the price that we were given. He turned our driveway which was muddy, rutted, and just an overall mess into a solid, well drained, flat and clean driveway that left us blown away in how perfect it looked and felt! They even stacked rocks at our ditch, added drainage and fabric in an area that was always a soupy mess and put down crushed rock before laying the gravel. We have a driveway that we now want to show off to everyone! We would recommend him and his guys to anyone who asks!

I hired Rick to fix my gravel driveway, clear land and put in a pad for a 40 x 60 barn. He gave me a very good quote, and over performed during the job. The barn went up without a hitch and the drive is holding up perfectly. Two months after the completion we had flooding and a river flowed down my driveway, and the next day the driveway looked great. I would recommend ricks work and expertise to anyone and everyone. He is very professional and courteous at all times. A great guy and great excavator.

I hired Forrest Excavation to correct drainage issues from my house and to apply erosion mulch to my front yard. Richard and Zach arrived as scheduled and worked tirelessly to complete the work efficiently in one day. They took great care to “do the job correctly the first time” to avoid issues later. My yard is so much improved. Richard is very personable and easy to talk to. I will hire him again if needed and give him my highest recommendation.

The perimeter drain around my foundation was no longer working. Every time it would rain, I had water behind the foundation wall and developed a good size crack and that would be where the water came in. Also from the chimney door. Richard called me on a Sunday morning, came out later that day and explained it all! He explained every detail about what needed to be done .Excavating, drainage, crack sealing, and coating. By the way this was done January-February. I can't say enough about Richard, Zack and Brad. I would highly recommend Forrest Excavation. Thank you Richard

Excellent experience working with Rick on our project in Weld. He came out to our property twice and explained the job in detail beforehand. Performed extra tasks like stacking the wood from trees that had to come down, moving a boat and creating a walkway not in the original proposal. Kept us updated on his progress since we live in MA and were not there to watch the work performed. Would highly recommend him and his crew!

He offered to do this for me! I recommend his company to everyone. I can't find the words to express my gratitude for a job well done!

Richard and Brad are a real find. I had them rework the nearly 1/8 mile sloped drive down to my house. The existing condition had deteriorated to nearly impassable. They have added culverts, ditches, reshaped the ground. I now have an amazing and functional rocked road that will last for years. Their experience, suggestions, knowledge and work ethic far exceeded my expectations.

Forest excavation did an excellent job with the Landscaping project. He's very reasonable,professional I would hire him again and I will hire me again next year. He left the area clean and also covered up tracks that he made with his tractor.
