Hired Tim to resolve water problems on my property. He installed drain tile, catch basins, connected downspouts to tile and re-pitched old ditch to better move the water flow. He's very detailed and did a great job. Highly recommend!

Brown's Excavating provided a unique solution to our drainage problem that did not involve planting a bunch of trees to soak up the moisture in our backyard. We were VERY satisfied with the job from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company!

I dealt with Mr. Brown directly. He was the right man with the right equipment and at the right price. He told me exactly what to expect...and then exceeded my expectations. My highest recommendation to Brown's excavating.

Brown's Excavating did an excellent job. They were here when promised, worked quickly and charged a very fair price. I just wish I had used them when I had to dig the foundation for my shed. I have no hesitation in recommending Brown's to anyone.

Tim was very professional and understood what needed to be done. the value for the work done was very reasonable. He was fast and cleaned up as he went along. I have already inquired about another project for him since he did such a good job on my sidewalk and driveway..

Tim came out and bid the job himself. They worked around my schedule and completed the work quickly at a fair price. Clean up was better than I expected too. I'll be calling them for future jobs (landscaping etc.).

This job was intended to be a resloping of my yard, but as I talked to Tim, the owner, I learned that he also did basement waterproofing/repair work. I decided that the water I had leaking around the inside of my basement floor was more important. I hired Brown's Excavating to dig down to the drainage system along the back portion of my basement, waterproof the wall, repair what could be repaired and replace what couldn't. The job was done quickly and VERY professionally. The work was done to accomodate my schedule and the yard was left looking better than I ever expected after all that was done. I will hire Tim and his crew in the future!

I had the best experience with Brown's Excavating due to a bad experience with my plumbing. He came and saved the day for me. I had 3 other bids for the job, and his was the most honest and fair. He also did the work in one day, cleaned up very nicely, and it was done and working great!! I would recommend him to everyone who has an eardrum or hearing device!!! Great guy, great work!!!

Great work at a great price! And they recycle concrete instead of taking it to the dump - Green bonus, plus no charge for dump fees!

Good work overall, but some concerns about dirt left piled up on sides of houes and repaied spots in basement wall still damp to touch after several months.

Responded promptly and I had the work scheduled (and done in one case) before I got call backs from the others. Needed to come back out after work was done and fix another section and did so promptly and under warranty of original quote.
