They excavated the old driveway and the 2 feet of sand and clay underneath. They spent days creating a proper foundation of compacted gravel and topped it with a beautiful paver driveway that looks like it could have been there when the house was built. Adjacent to the driveway was a nasty, weed-covered slope that ran onto the old concrete. Wes designed a really sharp natural rock wall to hold that back. He found rocks that exactly match our neighbor's old rock wall. Everything was done exactly the way Wes had described it, and it looks fantastic. In the yard, Wes and his guys removed a lot of old topsoil that was basically a weed farm. All of the grass is now gone. They replaced the old soil with rich, composted soil that Wes creates himself at their farm. They replaced the grass and weeds with an eclectic mix of really eye-catching perennials, and built walkways with old bricks, gravel, and some beautiful stepping stones. At Wes's suggestion, it is finished it off with pine straw mulch which prevents weeds from coming back. When a few of the perennials failed to thrive, Wes came back and replaced them at no additional cost. We wound up choosing pavers for the driveway that were much more expensive than the ones the bid had been based on, so Wes worked with us and adjusted the bid mid-project to help us stay as close to budget as possible. The whole experience, from the first phone call to the final walk-through was delightful. Three weeks after the project was completed we were awarded the 2015 beautification award from the Friends of Covington. Do yourself a favor and give these guys a call!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/oh/kings-mills/marvin%27s-organic-gardens-reviews-91848.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"KRAMER EXCAVATING INC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"OH","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Wilson W."},"reviewBody":"
Feb 27, 2013 Bill Kramer did an EXCELLENT job on our 1/4 mile gravel driveway. At that time Mr. Kramer fixed all the lumps and bumps in the road and we were thrilled to find a person who knew how to work on gravel driveways. Well, this year, I started contacting them in April into May to work on our driveway again. We needed a ditch dug on the side of our driveway so that water run off doesn't create ruts in our gravel driveway and we needed additional rock/gravel delivered and evenly distributed on the road.
Someone at his house takes calls but that seems to be the dead end. I did get one call back and I was told that they were very busy in the spring. I understand that putting in septic and cisterns takes priority over a driveway so I told them I would try again toward summer. I then called again in June and July. As of today, I have just given up on this person. If Mr. Kramer is so busy that he cannot stop over to look at the job and give me a quote, the heck with his business...I am moving on. If he didn't want the job, he should have just said he didn't do residential drives anymore or he could have supplied me with another company that he thought could do a good job. I have now called another Excavating company.

Friday morning I scheduled a rental for and excavator + trailer, over the phone. I arrived when asked to do so (Friday at 5:30 pm) to find that the excavator was not ready for pick up and there was no trailer available. I spoke with the owner to try and work something out. They still had the excavator on the delivery truck and I live less than 2 miles from their store. I suggested that if they drop it off at my house and waive the delivery fee that I would gladly come and rent the trailer when it comes back in and also rent a compactor if I could get enough done before hand. But I could only get to that point if I had the equipment. He told me he had no one to drive the truck. I asked him if he could drive the truck and he wouldn't give me a straight answer.
I explained that I had chosen them over chain rental companies (to which I had also quoted and passed on) because I support local businesses, even though their rates were higher and they provided less time for the rental. I also explained that now all other rental shops were closed and I now I had a job lined up and no equipment.
I buy from them at least once a month. I've bought tools, paint, stain, plumbing supplies. I rent a tiller from them twice a year ($50 each time).I've also bought 2 firearms, for combined total of $900. I gladly pay their higher prices to help them stay in business. I'm not saying I'm their biggest customer but I know I spend around 1k a year with them. That has been the fact for at least the last 10 yrs. I am 30 yrs old and plan on living in Alexandria the rest of my life. I have other projects lined up, including sealing a basement. This would have been over $1,200 alone, in their pocket. This incident has cost them a lot of my future dollars.
There is a Home Depot only 5 miles from them, but I chose them because typically you equate small business with a higher level of customer service. That is what failed me. Not the fact that there was a mix up with the rental, but the indifference in helping come to a solution and ultimately service the customer.
I walked out disappointed. I'm not saying I'll never step foot in there again, but it will definitely be a while. I certainly will be finding somewhere else to rent equipment from.
George cashed my check at my bank to get the cash within minuets of receiving it. He then called and said the bobcat was not available or the gravel until the next day after telling me he would have all of the work completed in that same day. The next day he apparantly scheduled gravel to be delivered when he was not there and I was not home. He called and ask why I did not receive the gravel and pay for it. I told him I was not home and he hung up and refused to take my calls. No excavation work was completed and no gravel put down to date... He refused to give me a refund on my money
... He has no credit anywhere so requires money up front to do any work. His drivers license is from the state of Louisana. His girlfriend answers / filters all phone calls. No credible references or portfolio of completed work. He represents his state corporation certificate "Allen's ConcreteLLC" as his license to be a contractor and his insurance verification has no effective dates... Run away from this scheister... He is no good and looking to steal your money.

I half expected to see/hear things tossed off the roof to ground level, but these men were professionals and took no shortcuts. They thoroughly cleaned out (more like excavated) the collection trap located in my dank basement. They even hauled out the buckets of waste material with them! When a question arose about which bricks should be used to rebuild it, they got their office on the phone and I spoke with the owner's son, who explained the pro's and con's of new bricks vs. the old bricks that I had originally requested (I believe in reducing, reusing & recycling.) Taking several factors into consideration, I chose to go with new bricks, which they provided at the same price as the old bricks. I decided to have the chimney spray sealed which was an add-on to the original job description. Again, the owner's son spoke with me on the phone - I was quoted and agreed to a revised total before the additional work began.

FAQs for excavation projects in Forest Park, OH
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
