A 2026 customer hired Dave for a small landscaping job, and it was done in half a day for the same cost as the original estimate, even though he did a little more cleanup than planned. Versatile Excavating Service says it has been in business 26 years and that it does not ask for payments up front, trusting customers to pay for the work as it is done. Gravel driveways and drainage carry much of its history. A 2020 customer said the company repaired a long gravel driveway, that Dave Roberts marked the agreed boundary lines and followed them exactly, and that he billed less than his estimate because it did not require as much materials. A 2021 customer described replacing an old cracked asphalt driveway with a gently sloped gravel driveway, with drainage work around the garage. A 2015 customer described a multi-phase project to regrade a driveway and parking area and install drainage throughout. That 2015 customer said it took longer than expected due to weather and their own changes, called it expensive, and said the drainage was working during a major rain storm. A 2018 customer said the excavation and grading for a new garden project took a little over a day, with top soil evenly spread with a york rake. A 2020 customer said Dave is an owner/operator who does all of the work himself. A 2019 customer said Dave told them they were coming in under budget on a line item. It carries 4.9 stars from 23 ratings on HomeAdvisor and on Angi, and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau.
Dave completed my small landscaping job in half a day with beautiful results. The final cost was the same as the original estimate, even though he did a little more cleanup than originally planned. It’s a job I thought I could tackle on my own but I couldn’t. I just wish I had contacted him earlier. I will definitely call him in the future first if more projects come up. Without reservations, I recommend Dave and his company for your excavation needs.
David's work on the driveway was impeccable. He was deliberate, thorough and detailed in every step of the job. I found him to be articulate, trustworthy and intelligent. I can recommend him without equivocation. John J.

They are great!
This job was for replacing an old cracked asphalt driveway with a gently sloped gravel driveway with additional drainage work around our garage. We were very pleased with Daveâ s attention to detail and professionalism.
