What Our Clients Say
We let the work speak for itself — but our clients aren't shy about it.
Parke John Excavating showed up when they said they would and finished the job ahead of schedule. Our foundation crew had a perfectly graded pad waiting for them — couldn't have asked for better.
I've worked with a lot of excavation crews over the years, and these guys are among the best. Clean trenching, careful with my landscaping, and they left the site better than they found it.
They installed a long gravel driveway for us and handled the drainage work at the same time. Professional from the first call to the final pass with the grader. Highly recommend.
