I had Joe help me salt and plow my driveway and it was evident that he knew what he was doing by lift the snow out of the way instead of smashing it into my fence. I then had him finish grading my backyard and to add a drainage system as well. Not only was the price beyond reasonable, but his communication was beyond anything that I've experienced in the past. He showed up and did about 3 people's worth of work by himself and had it all said and done within a day when my previous landscaper took almost 3 weeks and left me in a jam that Joe solved instantly. Regardless of how fast he did the work, everything was cleaned up organized and left in away that I didn't realize someone was there. It's great to have people respect your property. The fact being he had a eye and attention to details on the highest level of professionalism is a reason to just appreciate not being oversold or under delivered and just getting what you asked for the best way possible.

What Plymouth Homeowners Say About Legacy Excavation
Real Google reviews from homeowners across Plymouth County — septic installs, excavation, and drainage work we stand behind.
Joe is prompt, courteous, and really worked hard to get my yard the cleanest it's been in years. His prices are very reasonable, and I couldn't be happier with the job he did for me.
This is the best company out there if you are looking to have a septic system installed on time. Joseph kept me in the loop every step of the process. System was installed and passed all inspections in less than 5 days.

Very impressed with Joe and his team. Fair price, great quality work, timely and great communication with all the moving parts. The job site was left clean each day, would absolutely recommend this company!
Fast, professional, and excellent work We had a leak from the town water line with water streaming from the end of our driveway. I found Legacy Excavation on the Plymouth approved utility contractor list, and their strong reviews gave me confidence to reach out. I submitted a request on their website in the early evening, and Joe responded that same night with a clear, fair quote. He started the job first thing the next morning, after securing the necessary approvals. Joe is a skilled equipment operator who worked carefully to minimize the dig area, protect our property, and keep the road clear. By that afternoon, he had diagnosed the leak and replaced a faulty valve and pipe—all in one visit. We were really impressed with his speed, professionalism, and attention to detail. Highly recommend Joe and Legacy Excavation!
