A hillside with major erosion, three estimates, and a one-day fix: in an October 2026 Google review, a homeowner wrote that Jay from Ultimate had the best solution and price, and that Chris and Kevin completed the job in one day. Ultimate Excavation & Landscape Inc. works out of Canton, Connecticut, and its website lists foundation excavation, drainage, grading, land clearing and septic installation and repair among its services, across Hartford and Litchfield counties. Connecticut's registry shows home improvement contractor registration HIC.0669040 as active for ULTIMATE EXCAVATION & LANDSCAPE INC. The company says it has been in business 10 years, and it holds 5 stars from 37 Google ratings. In an October 2026 review, a customer wrote that the company turned a septic system rebuild into a chance to enlarge their backyard, with Chris, Kevin and Sam on site first thing in the morning Monday through Thursday. A July 2026 reviewer thanked Chris and Kevin for the excavation work for a home addition in Avon. In a December 2025 review, a New Hartford homeowner said Jay assigned Chris to flatten a wide area of a lot sloped at about 3:1 to make room for firewood, that a sizable maple came out as part of the project, and that the company did not charge one penny more than the original estimate. In a June 2024 review, a customer said the company repaired a significant drainage problem; more problems were uncovered while the job was in progress, and it was still completed on time. In an October 2023 review, a customer said Jay diagnosed the cause of occasional but significant basement flooding, which turned out to be something unexpected, and the work was completed on schedule. In an August 2023 review, a customer described a dry well for a water softener: the excavation included removing several large boulders, and Jay then brought in topsoil, spread it and seeded, with the job completed in one day.
Outstanding experience. Jay and Chris were a fantastic duo - efficient, professional and reliable. They were able to trouble shoot effectively and efficiently when our project presented unforeseen challenges. The outcome was perfect!
Ultimate Excavation turned a septic system rebuild into a truly great opportunity to enlarge and beautify our backyard. Chris, Kevin and Sam were on site first thing in the morning Monday through Thursday, and did a great job.
This is our first experience with a total lawn overhaul. Chris, Kevin and Sam worked so incredibly well together. Their expertise with the necessary equipment was impressive. Any questions or requests were handled respectfully, quickly and efficiently. Watching them spread the topsoil was amazing. I told them they could frost a cake they smoothed the first out so well. The entire project was designed, managed and coordinated by Jason. Jason set a very congenial, intelligent and professional tone to the whole project. Jason’s company did a superlative job from start to finish. I would highly recommend them.
I had some major erosion developing on my hillside. I got 3 estimates but Jay from Ultimate had the best solution and price. The job was completed in one day by Chris and Kevin who were both knowledgeable and professional. Communication was excellent and all work completed on schedule. I’m very happy with the results and highly recommend this company.
A big shout out to Chris and Kevin. They did a terrific job doing the excavation work for our home addition in Avon. Jay runs a top level organization and we are 100% satisfied. I totally recommend them for any excavation work.
