Why people believe in us

"Our backyard used to be woods. We needed some big trees cleared and the backyard smoothed out for our kids to play. I called landscapers with my ideas and they said it was too cost prohibitive. So, I decided to talk to an excavator. I did some research on local excavating companies and came across Scott Russell Contracting. I was impressed with his web site and reviews. I called Scott and he got right back to me to do a site visit the next day. His bid came back very affordable, and we actually had money left over to make a nearly flat yard (just enough grade for drainage) with a terrific retaining wall. The wall is curved and looks very professionally done. Scott also seeded and mulched and within weeks I was mowing our new yard. A few months have passed, and there has been no erosion and the wall is still perfect. Scott was terrific to work with and we highly recommend him for any excavation project."

Due to poor drainage in our backyard, we needed to hire an excavating contractor. We hired Scott Russell Contracting and have no regrets. Scott & crew installed a 3′ wide drainage trench across the backyard. He leveled everything, and then seeded the section, covering same with straw. They always conducted themselves in a professional manner, and always returned our calls. Five stars!!

"We struggled for years with an extremely wet backyard. In several places, a small pond had developed that was even home to a family of frogs. Our yard, although a good size, was completely unusable for us and our children. Attempts to correct the drainage issues were never successful until we hired Scott Russell Contracting. Scott carefully assessed the issues and found a workable solution that was cost effective and successfully removed water from our yard. Even with the high volume of rain we have had this spring, the yard has successfully drained. Scott and his crew were responsive and helpful every step of the way. We could not be happier."
