Such positive attitudes and hard workers with a full crew of 6-8 men over two full weeks. Totally reshaped our 120'x 70' steep back yard. Redid shoreline, added over 70 steps with hand rails and planted over 1,000 plants. Added tons of rocks for looks with the plants. Created new beach with two seating areas, one at beach and one half way up to our house. All the neighbors love what they did and for very reasonable price.

Sad to say but I cannot recommend this company at all. We had an appointment for them to come out to my property to see my excavation project on Monday, 8/19/24, at 4 pm. I rushed home from work to be there on time to meet them at 4:00 pm and they were a no-call, no-show. I called them at 4:05 to check and see if they were on their way and left a message. No call back. I called them the next day to find out what was going on and left a message. Still, they did not call back. I called a 3rd and final time a couple of days later, and I have still not heard from TB Excavation. When I scheduled the appointment with them, I spoke with Vince Snyder, who does estimates, and everything seemed cool, and they sounded very on the ball and professional. But after blowing me off and not returning my calls I am appalled and feel disrespected. They wasted my time and energy. If that's how they do business, forget it! That is NOT someone you want to hire!

Tanner Excavating is AMAZING!…read more We recently needed to have our orangeburg sewer pipe replaced from our house to the sewer main in the street. After speaking to several companies, we chose to have Tanner Excavating (family-owned business based in Dexter, Michigan) complete our job. Pat and Alicia Tanner are the owners and their children also work in the business as well as an additional 3 great guys. From our first contact with Pat and Alicia, we were impressed with their responsiveness, professionalism, communication, and their critical thinking skills surrounding the specifics of our job. Pat came over the same day and immediately noticed our extensive landscaping near the house and offered several ideas for alternative approaches for completing the work. I was especially concerned about a beautiful, large red maple tree which was right next to where they needed to dig. The crew came up with solutions to preserve the tree and worked carefully to protect the rest of my landscaping. (They will be back in the spring time to finish up the finer details that couldn't be done in the winter!)( Pat communicated with me regularly as he began pulling permits with the city and lining up the start date. He brought over his crew a few days early to look at the work that needed to be done, to meet me, and to answer all of my questions. It was clear from the way that Pat interacted with his crew that he valued and respected them and their work ... and it was clear that Pat had been doing this kind of work himself for years. They tossed ideas around together and collaborated on solutions. It was also clear that his crew enjoy working for Tanner Excavating. They later repeatedly told me how much they feel valued and taken care of by Pat, the owner. I love that the crew feels valued and respected! The crew encountered unexpected and unheard of difficulties in the roadway but they consistently conveyed patience, confidence, problem solving skills, and passion for what they were doing. Abe, Michael, and Zane were super friendly and remained positive and optimistic in all of our interactions and through all of the challenges in the roadway. I loved that they welcomed all of my questions and encouraged me to come and watch what they were doing because I was so curious. Abe, Michael, and Zane made the tough work in the roadway look easy -- even after our 2-3 day job turned into a 6 day job due to these unforeseen circumstances! Pat Tanner consistently demonstrated a very strong sense of integrity, honesty, and work ethic! Even though the job became more extensive than originally expected and quoted, our final price was exactly the same as our quoted price. When I said that I felt badly that our job was more extensive than expected and that he may have lost money on our job, Pat responded with "Yes, it did take more than twice as long to complete than anticipated, but I told you a price ahead of time and that is what I am sticking to ... because that is just what you do!" The entire crew and team at Tanner are friendly, approachable, knowledgable, and professional, people who do a great job! I completely trust them and have been recommending them to everyone I know. It is not often that one can excitedly rave about an independent contractor ... but I am certainly filled with positive feedback about Tanner Excavating!

TL/DR: Tanner Excavating replaced our sewer pipe from the…read morelawn to the city pipe. They are professional, knowledgeable, thorough, efficient and responsive to communication. We had a clog pipe somewhere on our property. Michigan Power Rodding was called and they were unable to get through a clog. They sent a camera down our pipe and the camera hit a clog somewhere outside, possibly a collapsed sewer pipe. We called Tanner Excavating, and several other companies, to get quotes for the work. Mr. Patrick Tanner came out within 24 hours and gave us a ballpark number for replacing the clay pipe from our PVC pipe to the city pipe in the street, complicated by removing a tree on the easement. One company never showed up and one company didn't want to deal with the tree. Within the next 24-48 hours, Mr. and Mrs. Tanner had already communicated with a tree removal company to get a quote for the removal, communicated with the City to determine what was needed to start the work, communicated with me about a possible schedule to complete the work and sent me a complete quote for the work, which was within his ballpark estimate. After we signed the agreement, his crew arrived the day before I was told they would start to bring equipment. Abe and Zane were very professional, friendly and reassuring. The sewer line runs under our water line and they were impressively skilled with that heavy machinery. The extent of digging was also less than what I thought it would be. At the end of each day, Abe and Zane were able to reconnect our sewer so it was functional, fenced off the work site for safety, and kept our lawn, street and sidewalk clean. When we encountered another complication, Mr. Tanner, Abe and Zane went into troubleshooting mode. It was clear to me watching them interact, that Mr. Tanner respects his crew and his crew respects him. I cannot stress enough how professional, adept and kind they all were during a really stressful time. All told, Tanner Excavating dug up and replaced our sewer pipe, repoured our concrete curb, resurfaced the asphalt street where they dug, added topsoil, leveled and reseeded our lawn, documented everything with pictures and video, and were done in 4 1/2 working days.

Filed the permits and completed the job in a most timely manner. He is greatly knowledgeable about what is to code and recommendations to meet it, for future buyers (He even ripped out an extra overgrown shrub for me, although the first one did make it easier for him to reach the source pipe. And joy! What a view I have out my front window with those shrubs gone!) I would say he went the extra mile to get it done, back fill, and me back to running water in the house again pronto. Great service and fair priced if not better priced. I am sorry I did not leave a review sooner. (I looked them up to get their phone number again, to refer a neighbor with their failing septic.)
