They did a wonderful job. I am so pleased with how it turned out. Ken, the owner, was so easy to work with. They are reasonably priced and did the job in a timely manner.Demolished a house and took down several trees.

My wife and I hired Ken to demo a home adjacent to ours. When we first reached out to Ken about the project, he had a quote back to us within 48hrs and was very responsive to answering phone calls and questions leading up to the demo. During the demo, he and his team where prompt, respectful and took the time to listen to and answer all our questions and concerns. Ken and team did an excellent job containing all demo materials on its site, cleaning up all the debris, filling in the foundation and leveling and seeding the entire lot. We would highly recommend Ken and the entire Farhner Excavating team for your next project!

I hired Ken Fahrner based upon a recommendation from my general contractor to do the excavating for our addition. Ken and his team are very professional, skilled, easy to work with and quick to help in problem solving. They had all of their work completed on time and perfectly executed. As part of the work Ken also needed to find our septic line that went to our tank so that we could connect the new addition to it. They came through and were able to locate it did it out (in very tight quarters) to enable our hook up to the septic system. Lastly, I also realized I needed my shed moved and Ken came up with a creative plan to be able to move the shed where it needed to go perfectly. I would recommend Ken and his team for any excavating and septic work that you need. Thanks Ken for all your hard work.

We hired Ken to demo a house next to ours. The buildings were close but he did an excellent job of safely tearing it down. The Fahrner crew did a great job cleaning up all the rubble and filling in the foundation. Throughout the entire process, Ken was in contact with us, easily reachable and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend this company!

New home build requiring major hilltop site preperation. From start to finish, received exceptional service that exceeded our expectations, all for a fair price. Highly recommended!

Ken has been great to work with! We’ve rehired him a few times now. Very nice guy. He was able to create us a driveway where we didn’t think was possible (very steep). Not just a one man show, he has people and all the big equipment the jobs required. Delivered on time, kept in communication, and stayed within the budget 👍🏻

We hired Fahrner Excavating to complete grading work, install washed rock with edging around house, and repair part of the driveway. The Fahrner crew did an excellent job performing the work, and the finished product looks great. We would use them again and highly recommend.

I hired Ken to put in a driveway, culvert, and gravel pad for a shed on my property. It looks better than I imagined and I love this new addition to my yard. Him and his crew and very professional, polite and quick to complete the job. Would definitely hire them again for future projects.

Can’t recommend Fahrner Excavating LLC enough. Called them to remove snow from our garage and they were there quickly and did a great job. The rate was very reasonable also. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them.

I had a garage that collapsed from the snow a few years ago that Fahrner Excavating cleaned up for me. They did a great job. Also they have been shoveling off my house roof for the last few years and have always been reliable.

Ken and his team were incredibly responsive to the needs of my septic line, even during an apocalyptic snowstorm and during the Thanksgiving holidays. He gave an estimate for the best and worst case scenarios, was communicative during the process, and got the job done right without being extravagant.It’s tough having a place in an area that’s a bit remote as you don’t know who will answer your calls or who knows how to get the job done right, Ken answered my call and got the job done right AND with a quick turnaround, which is also something you don’t always get in the area!I would definitely recommend Fahrner Excavating for anyone with excavating needs!

Ken has helped me for over 15 years. Driveway, roof shoveling, and this summer septic line and other fixes. Reliable, trustworthy and kind. Gets the job done.

Ken Farhner and his team are awesome beyond words! Ken actually answers his phone and promptly returns messages. He and his team are punctual, honest, respectful, and probably the hardest working men we've ever seen. We can't thank Farhner Excavating enough for the job that they did on our 20x25 pad for our new garage.

I had a severe Ice Dam on my roof that caused water damage in my basement bedroom. Ken and team were able to come out the same day I called them to remove all snow and ice from my roof. Thank you Ken and crew for helping me out of a bad situation so quickly!

Excellent experience and fair price on a very challenging project!We needed a driveway built through wooded terrain and a foundation pad to accommodate a 40x60 building. In addition, we wanted to incorporate a couple camping pads which could tap into the water and electric of our future building.Ken walked the property with us, taking note what our vision was. He was very tuned in to the fact we wanted to keep a wooded lot and took care to work around specific trees we wanted to keep.Ken and his crew of Dan's 😉 were not deterred by the elements. They are VERY hard workers andaccomplished incredible things in a short time. We appreciated how accommodating they were when the project was tweaked several times (add ons). Mark who helped with the finishing work was also very good at what he does. All super nice guys!We are VERY happy with the finished product and very excited about out future on this property. Ken Fahrner Excavation can take a bow on this one. Thank you, sincerely!

We had one to three feet of snow on our roof. They did a great job removing it and cleanup afterwards. I would highly recommend Ken for being so prompt and the hard work he did.

Ken did a very professional and great job to our driveway and parking lot at the Range Animal Hospital. Called and said he would come on a Friday and was there that day and worked around vehicles coming and leaving. We came in on the following Monday to a very well repaired entrance, driveway and parking lot. We have also had many compliments from our clients on what a upgrade it was.

Fahrner Excavating recently completed a major project on my property. Ken and the crew cleaned up several old buildings, and levelled off the sites afterwards. They also prepared a site for a storage building and did a fantastic job prepping for the building and then finishing off the gravel work and ramping to the building from my driveway after the building was set. They were prompt, efficient, respectful, and very accommodating to all of my project needs, adjusting as necessary to make sure that the completed project was just right. I highly recommend them for anything large or small needed to make your outdoor spaces just right.

We ordered the fence and received the timeline for installation immediately. The lot was checked for any dig issues, the post holes were dug and the fence was installed within the timeframe. The quality of the fencing is far above my expectation and the workmanship is exceptional. I would highly recommend Fahrner Excavating LLC .

Working with Ken and his crew was fantastic. They did a great job, adjusted to changes as was necessary and completed the job in good time. Built a fence and did landscaping for gardens and garage. Extremely happy with the results.

Found out about sewer problems late October. Had a contractor; had to pull out. Thought I would have topostpone with deer season and Thanksgiving. Snowstorms didn't help. One call to Ken put my mind at ease. Professional job in about half a day.

Ken is a very nice and respectful guy! I called him on short notice and he said he could get me in he came and did exactly what I asked for and it was very good work I would recommend for anyone to have him do work!

He did an amazing job on our landscaping and driveway. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was very thoughtful about asking how we wanted things done and checked every box. He is quick and makes everything perfect. He will make sure you are happy.

Ken and crew did a good job clearing our property and fixing our road, but the driveway and parking pad need help. I contacted Ken July 8 after moving to the property and realizing we can't use half the parking pad bc it's too steep to drive up. My bumper hit it like a wall! We even tried to manually lessen the angle, but it was nearly impossible with only hand tools. Ken asked for photos, which showed where we sank into the rock trying to enter the driveway (from either side). After several days, he finally agreed to stop by and give us options (his words), but we didn't hear from him again until I updated my Google review to reflect the poor service, at which time he texted before 5am to tell me he'd fix his mistake for an additional $850! We had also asked for something like a French drain for water coming off the hillside. Instead we got a moat that doesn't drain, which has become an eyesore and mosquito magnet and makes accessing the rest of our property very difficult. We had to build a bridge to get across!

Ken and his crew did a great job demolishing and removing a derelict trailer home from our property. They crushed and trucked away all the debris...3 truck loads of it and cleaned up the mess left behind. I loved watching the guys operate the excavator with its giant jaws that could pick up the smallest piece of metal.

Ken was great, super helpful and did a great job with an installation that had some surprises along the way. And they really put effort into cleaning up when finished.
