Reviews
Write a ReviewSoil Friends took the time to design a thoughtful, effective solution for my water issues. Ben provided multiple options, coordinated with the city and drain commissioner, and delivered great results. He even followed up the next year to ensure everything performed as expected. A high-integrity team I’d confidently recommend.
Ben removed old concrete sidewalk slabs, installed a French drain to collect ground and downspout water so that we no longer have foundation flooding. He also replaced the old concrete with a beautiful flagstone walkway which drains and is beautiful. Ben is a thoughtful, knowledgeable problem solver! We highly recommend Soil Friends Excavating.
Ben and the guys were great. Always arrived early and worked late. I had them replace a retaining wall which they did magnificently, exceeding my expectations. They also installed three French drains for my down spouts. I have had no more problems with water in my base or washing away my yard. Thanks guys
Ben and his team did an amazing job on a bench seating area for our patio! Ben communicated well, was always professional, and very friendly and kind! His team was just as kind and professional! They made sure everything was perfect and even fixed any damage to the yard. Ben goes the extra mile for his clients even to his detriment financially. We are extremely happy with how our patio turned out and would recommend Ben to anyone!
Five stars, and if we could we would give them ten stars! Not only did Ben and his crew do an amazing job at installing a french drain system around the terrace of our precious Frank Lloyd Wright designed house, but they were a pleasure to have around as well. Such nice guys! And very knowledgeable. They listened carefully to our wishes and delivered a very profesional job in just a few days time. Not only did they put the french drain system, but they also finished the work with very nice landscaping. We highly recommend Soil Friends Excavating, and will ask them to come back if we ever need more landscaping done. Tony and Marika Hillebrandt, Galesburg MI
Ben was great from start to finish. He gave me expert advice, explained the estimate in detail, and helped me decide how I wanted the work done. He and his crew were prompt and stayed late to get the job done in one day. He went over and above with communication, which seems to sometimes get lost nowadays. I will recommend them to others and have him back when we need more work done.
Ben did an amazing job on fixing your water issues in our egrass windows for our basement. The retaining wall, drainage and French drain he installed is keeping us dry. We are so grateful for a reputable and trust worthy business to help us keep our home safe and protected from water damage. Ben saved our basement and we are so grateful!!
Ben and his crew just finished a job at our home, taking water away from where it had entered our basement beneath an egress window by adding and rebuilding retaining walls, drains, gravel and a French drain He was very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. His team was very efficient and professional. They started and finished the work right on time. They left our property looking much better than it did at the start, were extremely careful with any cables they encountered, fixed areas in the lawn that were affected by equipment, kept us updated on their progress daily, and kept to the price they quoted for the job. I would recommend them highly.
Ben and his team were great! Weâ ve been in the process of moving and our yard was in desperate need of some love. When the time came to take care of the landscaping Ben and the rest of soil friends excavation were the only guys I wanted to do the job. Ben came and quoted us faster than I expected and worked us into his busy schedule. Him and his guys worked quickly and did an excellent job. I will forever hire soil friends excavation for future projects and always suggest them to others in the area. Thanks for turning my shabby yard into the best looking yard on the block!
Ben and Bob were great to work with.
