Can’t say a high enough praise. Tonight, I was stuck in a bind and these guys stepped in and stepped up. Extremely efficient, quick, kind, professional and personal. I needed a quick helping hand and they showed up with thoughtful and efficient strategy; you can tell they care about the work they do. Jacob, thank you for squeezing me in last minute and coming to help - but also thank you for just being friendly awesome guy with impeccable costumer service.

We use Shore Thing Excavating for snow removal for our building in Sheet Harbour. They always do a wonderful job, prompt and ongoing service during snow events. David is always quick to respond to questions/concerns and I highly recommend them.

We recently hired Shore Thing Excavation and Landscaping to install a new driveway, entryway and front steps using paving stones, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The team of Dave, Tyler and Jacob were professional, punctual, and very detail oriented. They helped us choose the right materials to complement our home’s exterior and executed the project flawlessly. Questions we had during the development were handled very respectfully and politely which we truly appreciated. The team kept the worksite clean and were respectful of our property throughout the process. They finished on time and within budget, and the final product exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Shore Thing Excavation and Landscaping to anyone looking for great results in their next paving stone project.

David and team were awesome. They helped me understand the potential of a challenging back yard with a steep slope, and then quickly delivered on a plan to greatly enhance the usable space leveraging a retaining wall and regrading. Very happy with outcome!!!

Shore Thing Excavation and Landscaping recently replaced our old crumbling wooden retaining wall with a large granite rock wall. From the initial request for a quote to when the project was complete, Dave and his team were very professional; delivered on commitments on time, courteous, polite, and also competitive on pricing. One can tell that they take great pride in a job well done. We are most pleased with the final result and look forward to working with them again on phase II of our landscaping projects.

Five-Star Work from Shore Thing Excavation and Landscaping! We recently had Shore Thing Excavation and Landscaping install a brand new walkway for our home, and we couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their team was professional, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to listen to our vision, offered great suggestions, and executed everything flawlessly. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the walkway looks amazing and has added so much curb appeal to our property. They kept the worksite clean, stuck to the timeline, and were a pleasure to work with throughout the project. It's clear they care deeply about the quality of their work, and it shows in every part of the finished product. We highly recommend Shore Thing Excavation and Landscaping to anyone looking for top-notch work and great service. We’re thrilled with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again!
