It was a busy season for water issues due to storms, so he was up-front that it would be a wait before the grading could be completed. We were content to wait since his communication was so good. When his team came to do the grading, he handled a miscommunication about the scope of the project quickly. Everyone was friendly and skilled and did excellent work, completing the job in less than one day. Much appreciated!

I had several different companies come and give me quotes to install a new septic system with…read morelateral lines. Most companies wanted to install the plastic turtle back chambers which have not been around long enough to know the longevity of the system. I chose Lubbers Excavating because when I first met with Tim (the owner) he made me feel comfortable. He was very honest and answered all my questions and made me feel like more than just another customer. He also explained that he did rock and pipe systems, which is what I had researched on. I wanted a system that would last me the rest of my life in this house. I had secured Tim back in March of 2019 and due to all the rain we had, my tank install had to be pushed back. The whole time, Tim was in contact with me letting me know when he would be here to install my new system. The day arrived in April, and let me tell you, this man and his crew have their stuff down to an art ! I watched in awe as the trucks were rolling in with the materials (tank, and 3 truck loads of rocks). There was no slowing this team down. It took Tim and his employee 2 full days to install my system! We were only without water for 1 hour. We could not be happier with our new system. I should also note, after the system was fully installed, we of course got more rain. The dirt around the outside of my tank had settled in a week what should have taken more than 2 years to do. Mother nature helped speed up that process. I called Tim and asked him what I should do. He said he would bring his excavator back out and move more dirt. Indeed he did!! This man is a man of his word and I can not say enough good things about him and his work! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to install a new septic system!

Between my house and my neighbors, water would pool up from my neighbor's gutters being forever…read moreclogged and the ground not being graded properly. We needed to have the yard graded right to allow excess water to drain away from the house to prevent water pooling up next to the foundation. Our experience has been pretty awful. My husband had three bids and we went with this company because he promised it would be fixed, the price was right, and he said he would do some extra things like lift up our fence and fill in with dirt around the house that others weren't going to do. On the day of the work being done, the crew spent maybe two hours at my house. One of those was fixing their machine which broke in my neighbor's yard. They dug a huge path between our houses, installed two window buckets and left. My husband and I (and the neighbors) assumed they would be back to finish the rest, but they did not return. Within a day my husband called the owner and told him that his employees did not do the right job, and that what he discussed with him was not done. They did nothing with the fence, and the window buckets were installed without putting the dirt around them (I ended up putting some dirt in them later) and they dumped the leftover dirt in our front yard. The owner said he wanted my husband to be happy and would come back and take a look. For the past two months my husband and the owner would play phone tag. As of today, we have not received a bill so we figured he was going to try to make it right before billing us, because why wouldn't we have a bill already if he was going to screw us? A couple days ago my husband made arrangements to meet with him at the house, and waited around for an hour before leaving. No phone call saying he was going to be late--an hour later he called to see if my husband was still there but he got tired of waiting. Today my husband talked with the owner on the phone and expressed the disappointment with the work, and that it was not what was discussed and wanted it fixed or to not pay the full amount, since the full amount of work was not completed. The owner became belligerent on the phone, cursing at my husband and threatening to put a lien on our house. He said he did not say he would do some of the things that were discussed before, he did not care whether we were happy or not, he wanted his money, and that he goes to court a lot so he would win (paraphrasing). Take in mind, once again, we have not received a bill yet from this company to pay and he has stood up my husband a few times. We have had the money to pay for this for months, we mistakenly thought that this was a man of his word and was going to try to make it right and he was just busy so we got put on the back burner. I would definitely NOT recommend this company. Unfortunately we have learned a hard lesson about getting what you pay for and will be looking for another company to finish the job. I normally would never just blast a company on social media, but cursing and threatening my husband is where I draw the line.
