My wife and I hired Kris with K&E Finley Excavating for a wide range of work on our property: site…read moreclearing and grading, grass waterway, sediment pond, retaining walls, driveway and septic. From start to finish, his work and communication have been exceptional. What really stands out to me is the way he combines engineering, science, land management, and what I can only call art. I never thought there was an "art" to excavation, but after watching Kris work, I see it. For example, he took the NRCS plans and design ideas I had, then improved them with more elegant and effective solutions to solve our drainage challenges.
Even after we had a written work agreement, Kris made sure things were done right, going above and beyond instead of just "checking the box." That commitment shows in the quality and craftmanship of the final results. The driveway, pond and waterway not only function perfectly, they look like they've always belonged on the land. The septic and retaining wall were done with the same level of care and precision, I wish you could see it.
Kris will tell you that you can find cheaper excavation companies. Maybe you can find someone willing to give a lower bid, but in my experience, you won't find the kind of value he delivers. His work is built to last, and the peace of mind of knowing it's been done right is worth far more than any savings I may have been able to find.
If you want excavation done right, with thought, skill, and pride in the outcome, Kris and K&E Finely Excavating are who you want on your property.
