We hired Haliburton Excavating to rebuild and widen a causeway from our mainland property to our island property. John was a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. His pricing was fair, he showed up when he said he was going to show up, and completed the job when he said it would be completed. His team on site were very knowledgable, friendly and accommodating as well. I can't say enough good things about John and Haliburton Excavating.

So far I've only been hiring haliburton excavating for my projects. Fair price, shows up on time, gets the job done plus more. John put in a level spot for my garage, put in a level parking lot, and a new road on a property that's about a 50 degree angle and full of trees. I went from using a 1/4 of my acre to my entire property. Friendly guy too.

I’m building in Haliburton and needed to get a load of gravel last week. As I’m new to the area I Googled for suppliers in the area and started calling. A couple didn’t answer and the next, a company with excellent reviews, was fully booked but asked where I was working and then recommended Haliburton Excavating. They said that Haliburton was busy too but that John was great at fitting people in. I called John and he responded immediately, explaining that he was on a job, was booked for the following days but could possibly get a truck load out sometime that afternoon depending on logistics and would let me know. He called back within the hour with a delivery scheduled that same afternoon. Etransfer was made, delivery done, and I got on with my work. Outstanding commitment and service from these folks. No wonder their peers in the industry are confident in recommending John and his crew. Thank you!

John knows his business, his machines, and the task at hand. You'll get what you wanted, when you wanted it and most likely better than what you expected.

Contracting in Haliburton over the years usually meant hiring someone who wanted to be a contractor but with little or no skills, they fudged their way through at clients expense. Poor results often hidden behind the facade. Now finally a well trained experienced company Haliburton Excavating Proficient and experienced in many areas of need. A call back attention to detail, economical, and the important finishing off of a job are qualities seldom achieved here. John Holmberg is outfitted with every necessary tool and the right equipment along with knowledge only earned by time invested. Be pleasantly satisfied with your important projects John will earn your respect, and far exceed the so called competition. Great years ahead for us all.

I hired Haliburton excavating for my last project. John replies to texts and voice mail in a very timely matter. He is truly knowledgeable, polite, hard working and a great guy to do business with. I would hire him again.

Very knowledgeable, accountable and hard working! We had a large project requiring excavation, retaining walls, and landscaping.
