Get matched with top excavation pros in Columbus, MN

"I hired Clark Companies to do grading, bury gutter down spouts, and install decorative rock around my house. They did a great job, finished up in a day, and planted seed to restore the grass that was unavoidably disturbed. Iâ m very pleased, highly recommend Clark Companies and would use them in the future."

"We needed some help on short notice. Jeff was quick to reply and was able to meet our schedule! Thanks for helping us out!"

"I had a retaining wall done by Outdoor Aesthetix, and I couldn’t be happier with the work! It’s been two winters now, and it still looks just as solid and perfect as the day it was finished. The team was super diligent, paid attention to every detail, and made the whole process easy. Plus, they were really professionals always up for a chat while getting the job done right. Even when I needed to reach out afterward, it was no hassle at all. If you’re looking for quality work and great service, I highly recommend them!"

"Did a good job at a reasonable price"

"Josh was very easy to work with and completed a perfect job on our project. I feel like we received far more than what was bid and charged for. It was a great and refreshing experience."

"They are excellent. I have never had any dissapointment at all. They are very clean and professional. All around a good experience."

"On one hand it is difficult to know how to evaluate the service we received from Service Master. We have never hired a cleaning company before, and what we needed was a very deep clean of our house prior to listing it for sale. If the results were undeniably spectacular, then it would be easy an easy evaluation. The house looked so much better after the painting and cleaning - night and day. However, the painters left some streaks of paint on the wood floors and neither they, nor Service Master, were able to clean them up, even though they both said they would. Moreover, citing the paint on the floor, Service Master came back to us after a day of cleaning saying they needed more time for an additional charge of $600. 
We were in sort of a vulnerable position: they weren't done with their work and we were days away from getting our house listed. So we felt like we had no choice but to agree.
We already thought they were expensive, and this just added to our feeling that maybe we were being taken advantage of. Unfortunately, our situation made us vulnerable in this way. We were in a hurry and busy with not only our jobs but getting the house ready for sale. So we only got one estimate for cleaning the house, and used Service Master because they were the only company who could meet our deadline (our agent told us about Service Master, and the top companies we called from Angie's List were not able to meet our schedule.)
Overall, the house did look great after their cleaning and, as a postlude, it sold in one day on MLS, so there was a bright end after all. We just have this nagging feeling that we paid a lot more than we should have, and we didn't like having to agree to pay more in the middle of the work."

"Where to even start. This company is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. I recently hired Gervais Contracting to install a new driveway and handle the dirt work for a new garage. The proposed shed pad area was about 8 feet lower than the house grade. I consulted five other excavation contractors, but they only wanted to raise the grade by 1 foot, which would have caused significant water problems in the future. When Zach from Gervais Contracting came out, he expressed his concerns about this approach. He explained that simply raising the grade by 1 foot would lead to tremendous water issues. To confirm, I had an engineer visit my house, and he agreed completely with Zach's assessment. Zach then worked his magic, finding the appropriate grade to ensure maximum watershed away from the new building, eliminating any future water problems. Zach was the only contractor out of the five who provided the right advice and solution. Despite being a young guy, his knowledge in the industry is unmatched. From start to finish, he was easy to communicate with, always responsive to my calls, and incredibly knowledgeable. When the project was completed, my driveway was smooth as glass, and the shed pad was perfectly level and ready for concrete. If I could give 100 stars, I would. This is the best contractor I have worked with in my 56 years. Thank you so much, Zach, and your crew at Gervais Contracting! Incredible services that you guys provide, Hire these guys even if they have the higher price because you cannot beat the level of knowledge, honesty and above Quality work they provide !! You will not regret it"

"Contacting them after seeing their ad in the Angie's List magazine. John was great to work with and he and the team did a great job. Consulted with me throughout the entire process and we're very happy with the result. Leveled and graded our backyard (~4,000 feet) and laid new sod."
