After splitting our property, we had to widen a 450' foot long easement. A turn had to be installed to access the home on the back parcel. Southern Excavating came out with the right equipment and manpower to get the job done. Crushed concrete was installed and compacted. A perfect job!

This company is amazing! They actually exceeded my expectations. In the course of one day they did a major forest clearing with many big trees and very thick thicket. The equipment they used is large industrial equipment. I am very pleased. I highly recommend this company.

I have worked with many landscape companies in my past, but none as good as this one. Professional, respectful, reliable, friendly team. I use them for my home, my moms home and my subdivision. Highly recommended.
