We are in the process of building a farm with two homes and several outbuildings on undeveloped land. After speaking with several excavators, we hired David and he has done so much amazing work for us.

I hired Mr Gunter to put a pond in. The guy is a working machine. He showed up early and stayed late. He is an expert in his field. I highly recommend a walking path around your pond. Ours turned out great. To summarize I am an actual customer who got a great value and product from David Gunter Excavating.
