We had our septic done October 2024. We were informed we had no choice other than to get the elevated drain system due to our county's water table. It was insanely expensive compared to the regular "old" style drainage system. Also much worse. We NEVER had standing water in our yard until this thing was installed. It has completely ruined our yard. The hill is huge and multiple eye sores with the 2 huge green lids and a big pole with crap on it sticking up. They barely put down grass seed and it's awful with thick hard weeds . They also didn't not come fill in sunken areas like they said they would when spring rolled around. We have called over and over, have been told they will come out asap to fix it. Almost 2 years later, still calling. Spoke to Trey this last time, he said it would be 1 to 2 weeks and they would fill it in. Still no luck. Huge sunken dangerous pits in my yard and a giant hill with water totally around it . Was basically not their problem.
There’s no other way to say it, when you have to have your septic field and tank replaced unexpectedly, it’s a poopy situation.From the first call, Stephanie from Ashby Excavating made the process extremely easy from assisting with the permit, to finalizing the invoice. Anytime I had to call the office with a question, Jennifer or Randy were there to assist in a friendly manner and was able to get my questions answered.Tre and Austin did an awesome job on the installation. They were extremely professional and were constantly working. We’ve had a lot of bad contractors who would milk out the clock and play on their phones. That was not the case with Tre and Austin, they were constantly working and were able to complete the job quickly and effectively. For the amount of time and work that needed to be done, you would’ve thought it took 4-5 workers to do the job that Tre and Austin did.Overall, it was a great experience using Ashby Excavating and I would highly recommend giving them a call if you need to have this type of work done at your home. They turned a poopy situation into a positive experience. You will get the job done right, on time, and on budget. Great job to the team at Ashby Excavating!
Should be zero stars . Ordered a delivery of 30 yds of dirt a week before I needed it . Was told before 9a.m. On delivery day . At 10:30 wasn’t delivered called and told still hasn’t left and maybe by 12p.m. or 1p.m. Truck driver calls at 12:08 and says earliest is 3p.m. maybe later . Wasted a day off for no delivery. Asked if the where willing to adjust price since I’m having to waste a day off of work they said no . Would never deal with this company do to not caring about customer service or communication with customers
Response from the owner: We keep our delivery prices as low as possible with the high fuel prices so we are not able to discount things any further. I am sorry the truck did not come at the time planned. We can not control truck break downs and other issues. We were able to deliver it the same day but just at a later time and updated you with this delay in over the phone. Not giving you a discount after you screamed and cussed at our driver and our office secretary because the truck was running late for reasons out of our control is a ridiculous reason for a poor review. Reviews should be used for quality, pricing, and things that are in our control.
They did a great job putting in our septic system they answered all our questions and were so nice
I usually never do reviews, but Stephanie, Trevan, and the rest of the crew at Ashby Excavating LLC/Ashby Septics deserve some praise. They met or exceeded my expectations in every category. I am talking about competitive pricing, professional demeanor, open and clear communications, and start and finish work in a timely manner. I highly recommend them and will always come back to them.
Needed a new septic field and Trey did a fantastic job from start to finish and was extremely knowledgeable of his machinery and the process, also was very professional, & kind.Always had a line of communication open.
Ashby was a great company to work with, their staff was helpful and friendly. Tray did a great job with our badly needed culvert install.
I had my septic tank put in November 2024. I have been waiting all summer for them to come back and smooth my yard. During the process, their operators clearly ran over my tree that was not even in their way.. I still dont know how or why that happened. But, I have been trying to contact them since May and here we are entering August and there are still massive hills and rocks in my yard from then they put in the septic. My mover blades are being damaged due to the rocks. I had to hire people to come out and mow my grass just to protect my equipment from further damage. I am very displeased with the quality of their finishing the project because they put in the septic and leave the yard a horrible mess. Please seek out a different company or at least negotiate a lesser pay for them not completing the project.
Ashby was the third company to quote my septic field replacement. Stephanie answered the phone every time I called and had the knowledge to address all of my questions on the first try. The written quote was simple, concise and delivered on time. Price was very fair. There were zero attempts to upcharge or install a more complicated system than necessary. I was a bit skeptical the job would go a smoothly as it did. Their earthmoving equipment is modern, clean and quiet. None of the operators were abusive to the machines and never did I see the excavator bucket get slapped around. Everyone took pride in their workmanship, operated smoothly, respected the machinery and kept the job site organized. Each time I wandered around the yard, everyone was polite and stopped to explain what they were doing and what steps were next. Never did I hear anyone yelling or cursing. Never were there water bottles or trash left behind. Kyle and his team are professionals and acted as such. The final grade and clean up is so good, all that's needed is to spread grass seed and rake it in. I wish I had an Ashby t-shirt to strut around in. Thank you team!
Response from the owner: Thank you!
