We used Sweeney Excavating to address some flooding around our home by installing an underground dry well. Every step of the process was fantastic - Alex was very responsive, professional, and transparent with getting us quotes, and Billy got our project scheduled quickly and communicated with us throughout the process. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional, and we are very happy with the results - no flooding after yesterday's torrential rains! Couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we will not hesitate to use them for future projects!

Everyone at Sweeney Excavating was super helpful, considerate and did excellent work. We have two dogs, and they were mindful of them during the work done. They promised and delivered on the timeline and even took care of some issues that arose when the project started. If we ever need excavating done in the future, or if any of my friends and family need work done, I am definitely going to recommend Sweeney to them without hesitation.

We hired Sweeney Excavating for an emergency project. Called them on a Friday night and they were out Monday morning and completed the job Tuesday afternoon. I can't say enough about what a great group of guys they are! The were polite, hard-working and did an amazing job. If you don't hire them for your next project, you're missing out! They are reasonably priced and don't leave until the project is perfect. Michael Sweeney runs a great business and the guys that work for him are one of a kind. Thank you!!!

It was was a great experience working with Mike . He did exactly what I wanted and then some . Very professional and polite as was his assistant . He even came back to fix some wash out from heavy rains ( not his fault ) without an issue . Would definitely hire again .

Mike and his team were prompt, reliable, extremely courteous and personable and a stickler for detail. They were hired to put in a stone walkway, patio, a cobblestone apron, granite stairs, spread loam throughout the yard. We had a couple of delays due to problems with the stone being defective (not Mikes fault in any way) and we had to delay him a couple times. He was totally understanding and worked with us every step of the way. He was precise and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with the result. Would not hesitate to hire him again in a heartbeat. Very trustworthy and hardworking.

Mike Sweeney provided prompt, professional and courteous service. He listened to my request and made sure we were both on the same page. Demo of the old shed, removal of tree stumps and sight grading/prep for the new shed is perfect.

Mike is the consummate perfectionist! He worked tirelessly and stopped to answers questions I had regardless of how busy he was. He is not only very professional but also a polite, respectful, young man. It was a pleasure to watch him work with such care and permission. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other homeowners. Thank you, Mike!��

Mike took him time and was very precise in putting down cobblestone edging on our driveway and also a cobble apron at the end of the driveway. He is very professional, honest and hardworking. It is 2 years later and I just want to say our driveway looks as beautiful as the day Mike Sweeney finished the job. He told us we would not regret hiring him, and he is so right. This guy is golden.

Mike was meticulous and thorough with his work. He did our driveway and custom designed a blue stone walkway from it to our front door. He is a real artist with stone work pays attention to small details. He was great about keeping us in the loop with all questions that arose. Our driveway and walkway look terrific and we are very pleased. I wholeheartedly recommend Sweeney Excavating.

Mike was a honest and upfront. He responded right away to all my inquiries. The work was done when he said it was and the price was what he said it was. Couldn't be happier with the service and quality of work. I will be needing his services in the future and he gave me some recommendations for some other services i need to have done.

Mike Sweeney is an honest, hard working and courteous professional. He goes above and beyond to assist the customer in every way. I cannot say enough good things about Sweeney Excavating. The 200' retaining wall he built for us is beautiful.

Not only did Mike Sweeney remove the stump but he also excavated for a 20 x 20 patio which needed a pitch. He was most professional in lazering for the pitch. He also did a few extra small jobs on site which required the use of his excavator. He cleaned up neatly and left the site ready for the concrete contractor. He was punctual, communicative, professional and most respectful of me and my health situation.

Did a great job removing tree stumps on my yard project was on time and did what he said he would do. Rates were good and worked quickly . Cleaned up and did not change anything with the nearby road edge that could have been a problem later. Kept the neighbor happy too. Great Job
