Can’t say a high enough praise. Tonight, I was stuck in a bind and these guys stepped in and stepped up. Extremely efficient, quick, kind, professional and personal. I needed a quick helping hand and they showed up with thoughtful and efficient strategy; you can tell they care about the work they do. Jacob, thank you for squeezing me in last minute and coming to help - but also thank you for just being friendly awesome guy with impeccable costumer service.

We use Shore Thing Excavating for snow removal for our building in Sheet Harbour. They always do a wonderful job, prompt and ongoing service during snow events. David is always quick to respond to questions/concerns and I highly recommend them.

Blake Gammon

We recently hired Shore Thing Excavation and Landscaping to install a new driveway, entryway and front steps using paving stones, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The team of Dave, Tyler and Jacob were professional, punctual, and very detail oriented. They helped us choose the right materials to complement our home’s exterior and executed the project flawlessly. Questions we had during the development were handled very respectfully and politely which we truly appreciated. The team kept the worksite clean and were respectful of our property throughout the process. They finished on time and within budget, and the final product exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Shore Thing Excavation and Landscaping to anyone looking for great results in their next paving stone project.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dave and his team. Our back yard was having drainage issues and we wanted some ideas for landscaping. Dave had some awesome ideas and provided a very competitive estimate. The Shore Thing team was incredibly efficient, very experienced and took an enormous amount of pride in their work. Our finished outdoor space is SO gorgeous and we couldn't be happier. Dave, Tyler and Jacob are great people and we genuinely miss having them around.

David was quick to reply to my request for a quote. Came out to the property and we went over several options so I could keep in budget. He was able to squeeze my small backyard reno in early in the season and kept me informed on when his workers would be arriving. The young men operating the equipment were kind and courteous. I had my backyard excavated and graded and new topsoil out in without any issues. The site was cleaned up after and looks wonderful! Would totally recommend these guys!
