Adam and his team were excellent digging out some sinkholes in my yard, identifying the problem, and offering solutions. Fast, reliable, and responsive. Looking forward to using them for more jobs this spring or fall.
We had to have an underground pipe replaced. Adam and his crew did a great job! I would highly recommend them!
I had a great experience working with Valley View. Adam and his crew were professional, responsive, and really took the time to design a solution that met my needs. Their work was excellent—the wall looks great and is well-built. The crew kept the work area clean and completed the project on schedule. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing retaining wall design and construction.
Adam is a magician on heavy machinery. He built our MASSIVE Redi Rock retaining wall, which was a true challenge. Adam had to maneuver his machinery within inches of our house while manipulating 2ton blocks to absolute precision, and he masterfully completed the project ahead of schedule. He showed up on time and worked long hours during each stint, not to mention he’s awesome to work with and super personable. His fees are very fair and I would absolutely recommend Valley View Excavating to anyone looking for site work or retaining walls. Adam has cornered that niche incredibly well. Thanks for a job well done Adam!
Top quality work. The retaining wall and driveway modifications turned out better than I had hoped. I have the utmost confidence in Adam and his team, and will look to use there services again.
