EXCELLENT Based on 24 reviews Posted on Google Darcea AnsorgerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a barn, cattle shed and small shop taken down. It was all done efficiently and at the end they walked the areas cleaning up. We were very impressed and definitely recommend them . 2026Posted on Google LorneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the worst driveway forever, it was pretty much a mud pit every spring and never properly dried out. I contacted HD&D in the fall of ‘25 to have them redo our driveway and clear some brush. Darcy and his crew came out and completed all the work professionally and expediently. I can honestly say now that the snow is gone our driveway is bone dry. My wife is ecstatic with the results and she is one tough customer to please. Overall a five star review. Just thought I’d come back and rave a little more about the quality of the work. After all that rain we’ve just had, 8 inches or better, there was not even one puddle anywhere in our driveway. Again, we cannot say enough good about the quality. Beyond 5 stars.Posted on Google Jonah HansenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had HD&D Excavating dig our house foundation as well as run the water and sewer lines. Overall we are very happy with the work done. Darcy worked with me over email to break down and clarify the initial quote items and to coordinate scheduling. Brady is an incredibly skilled operator and was able to dig to within milimeters of our planned depth, and did a fantastic job of laying out the remaining backfill around the property, as well as accommodating some last minute requests.Posted on Google D’Arcy WhiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
