Peterson Excavating & Landscaping

These guys were fabulous. They were responsive, pleasant, knowledgeable, efficient and did a great job. We had to excavate about a quarter of our perimeter, repair foundation, waterproof, add drain tile; also buried a sump line, brought in soil, seed and hay mulch. It was wonderful doing business with them

They also got all of the approvals from the city to do the lining of the pipe under the street so that I would not have to pay for digging up the road.

They finished with landscaping the yard, doing some patio preparation work, doing some driveway work in the back yard, and generally getting my mess all fixed up!  I was appreciative of their good work.

If I had sewer issues again (heaven forbid!) I would hire them.  Yes, they were expensive, but considering they solved a major structural problem for my house, I'm grateful.

They did exactly what they said they would do, I was very pleased with how things looked when they finished, the whole yard was clean and everything was picked up, very professional, I would recommend them to my friends.

I liked him, he was prompt and competent, even though the outside temp was close to 0 . He finished the job in 3-4 days.

Excellent professional wouldn't use any one else if needed again

It went extremely well. I am so very happy and they could not have made it any easier on me. They were fast, efficient, and professional. My yard was put back together so you can hardly tell it had been excavated. They arrived early in the morning and the work was completed by the time I came home that evening.

He was fantastic. The price was reasonable. He was knowledgeable, polite and prompt. I would definitely use him again.

Jay Peterson's work on the whole project was truly excellent. From the planning phase all the way through to grading, Jay was very helpful in getting everything done correctly and efficiently. He made many good suggestions and his experience was valuable in doing the work the best way.
He and his team were very flexible and easy to work with. He frequently adjusted his schedule to coordinate with the masonry work to be sure there were no delays. Jay also came back on very short notice to do some touch-up work on the driveway and around the foundation, to get it done before the ground froze.
Jay accepted additional work during the project, installing waterproofing membrane and foundation insulation, getting it done at the right time in the schedule even though it had not been on the original request.
Through the whole project, I really enjoyed working with Jay. I will definitely be calling him for landscaping work this coming Spring.

Jason was easy to get in touch with both before and during the process.
His estimate was right on. I had a sewer back up on me in town on a
Friday night, with renters. It turned out the main sewer line had
broken just outside where it left the house. I tried to call him on
Saturday, and he answered right away. We talked for a long time. The
worst thing was, I was leaving for Florida the next day. He took care of
everything with the city etc. and his quote for my situation was accurate. I talked to him almost
every day between when I called him to when he was able to dig.(he was
waiting on the utility companies to mark the ground before he could go
ahead) I would definitely use him again.

Very efficient and professional. Asked for a 5 year guarantee on the pump and received it.

This was during a very busy time after the flooding and it took a long time for the city to allow the project to start. Once it started, everything went quickly. The work was done correctly and passed all city testing right away. Jay was very professional, easy to work with, and knowledgeable about the specific project as well as related excavation work. I will definitely hire him again for more work on the property.

Jay Paterson was very good throughout the whole project. He communicated well and he neither complicated things nor oversimplified matters. The final bills did not vary from the estimates except in the case of my changing my mind about the truck full of dirt and grass reseeding. I also never felt like I was being sold anything I didn't need. Regarding job #1 this was a forced matter by the city of Duluth making homeowners do this job under penalty of fines. I had received 4 estimates total and all estimates were much more expensive than Peterson Excavating's bids. Also the city inspector was very impressed by the work and very surprised by the price, he stated it was the best he'd seen and most of the jobs he's examined were closer to 60 ft from the house to the sewer not my 240 feet.

I have recommended Peterson Excavating to a friend and he had lots of excavating done at his house with great results and a great price.
