A new septic system, a trench for a power upgrade, a lot regraded out of a flood zone: M & S Excavation & Septic LLC does the digging and grading work around a house. The company says it has been in business 13 years, and its website lists a service area that includes Madison, Guilford, Clinton, Branford and New Haven. A recent customer says Ulka and his brother helped replace and build a new septic system and answered every question along the way. A customer writing about their parents' septic replacement says the brothers explained things clearly and never made them feel rushed. A 2025 customer said AJ handled everything to get a septic tank moved and approved by the town on a challenging worksite. A 2024 customer said M & S replaced a brick foundation wall on an antique colonial with stone to match the rest of the house and raised the grade on one corner of the lot to get it out of the AE flood zone. A 2024 customer said M & S dug a trench for a power upgrade, was back onsite as soon as it was time to backfill, and hauled the big rocks away. A 2024 customer said M & S pulled brush, added grass seed and river rock rip-rap by the lake shore and installed drainage, and that the work held up through winter and heavy rain. A 2025 customer said M&S refreshed a long gravel driveway that was basically mud, with a quote within days and the job on the schedule the following week. A 2025 customer said M&S prepared a base for a prefabricated shed and was punctual and tidy. A 2025 customer said M & S installed a patio and sidewalk with stairs at a price that was fair compared with other quotes. A 2024 customer looking to have a 500-gallon in-ground propane tank installed said Aj came in with a fair estimate. A 2023 customer whose project needed multiple dry wells plus leveling, grading and reshaping of the front and back yards said M&S was responsive and affordable and completed the work in a clean and efficient manner. A 2023 customer praised the job M&S did with a retaining wall.
Ulka and his brother were amazing throughout this whole process with my parents and I really wanted to leave a review because the way they treated them meant a lot to me. From the start they were patient respectful and genuinely helpful every step of the way. Getting a septic system replaced can be stressful especially for homeowners dealing with a big project like that but they made everything so much easier for my parents. They took the time to explain things clearly answered every question they had and never made them feel rushed or pressured into anything. They made sure my parents felt comfortable and understood what was happening the entire time. What stood out most to me was how much care they showed. They did not treat this like just another job. They treated my parents with kindness honesty and real respect which is something you do not always come across anymore. They were dependable easy to talk to and always willing to help whenever something came up. The finished work came out great but what impressed me most was how they handled themselves through the whole experience. Anyone can do a job but not everyone knows how to treat people the right way and they absolutely do. My parents were extremely happy with everything and that says a lot. I am very thankful they were the ones doing this project for them and I would recommend Ulka and his brother to anyone looking for people who do great work and truly care about the people they are helping.
Ulka and his brother did outstanding work and I truly cannot find a strong enough word to describe how impressed and grateful I am for everything they did. They helped us replace and build our new septic system and handled the entire process with incredible care and attention to detail. Every part of the job was done thoroughly and with real dedication and they made sure to answer every single question we had along the way without hesitation. They were patient helpful and easy to work with from start to finish. Even before we officially decided to move forward with them they took the time to answer our questions and guide us without any pressure which really stood out. From the very first conversation my wife and I had with them we knew we were in good hands and that they were the right people for the job. Their professionalism stood out immediately and continued throughout the entire project. What meant even more is that their support did not stop once the job was finished. They made it clear that if we ever had any questions after the work was done we could call them anytime and they would be there to help. That level of care and commitment is rare and truly appreciated. The quality of their work speaks for itself and I could not be happier with the result. If anyone is looking to have a septic system replaced or needs similar work done I would strongly recommend them without any hesitation. There is a reason they have so many five star reviews and now I fully understand why. Thank you both so much for your hard work and for making this such a smooth experience. You are truly amazing at what you do.
AJ was a pleasure to work with. He handled everything and went above and beyond on a challenging worksite to get our septic tank moved and approved by the town quickly and accurately. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend M & S Excavation! They recently installed a patio and sidewalk with stairs for us, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. The crew worked efficiently, got the project done quickly, and the quality of their work really shows. On top of that, their pricing was very fair compared to other quotes we received. The patio and stairs look fantastic, and we’ve already gotten compliments on the job.
I recently had M&S Excavation prepare a base for a prefabricated shed and am quite happy with their workmanship and professionalism. The quote was very reasonable also. They were able to get me started in a reasonable amount of time and communicated everything they planned to do and were punctual and tidy. I am very glad I made the decision to use M&S and plan to use them again in the future.
