Ramshaw Excavating & Landscaping

We recently hired Ramshaw to create a front flower bed with large boulders and are very pleased with the results. And great service as well, which is often not easy to find! They were so easy to work with, organized, and ensured a smooth process from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Great quote and did additional work others would not/could not do. Easy to deal with.

We wanted to have two trees and an additional stump removed from our property. We were connected with Ramshaw through Homestars, and opted to hire them for a few reasons: a) their great price, b) positive reviews, and c) they were the only company that would remove the tree stumps instead of just grinding them down.

The pre-job correspondence was quick and clear and they arrived exactly when promised. The work itself happened over two days. Cliff and his helper were quick, safe, efficient, and did a fantastic job leaving our yard in great shape.

Were excited for all the extra space & light that these tree removals provided. Our experience was A+, and we wouldnt hesitate for a second to recommend Ramshaw to anyone looking for a referral.

My back garden retaining walls collapsed with hail storm in July 2023.more than five company checked the damaged and said is a big job and can not do it and the estimate price was really high. A friend recommend the ramshaw excavating company and said they are amazing and she was right, and I phoned Jody and the next day Cliff came to check the damage and after that with the beautiful weather we had in November everything went smoothlyCliff and his crew, are the most amazing and kind and professional people I have seen and I can not believe the amazing job they have done and Jody was so nice on the phone and she was there, whenever I had a question.Cliff , his crew and Jody made be believe that there are good people in the world who do not take advance of your suitation and thank you for that.and for the future project, they are my number one people.thank you again.

Ramshaw Excavating landscaped our front and side yards with grey limestone rock. We are very happy with the rock. They also installed 4 sandstone large boulders and 4 shrubs and 3 wheat bushes. We are happy with everything, albeit abit disappointed in the size of the 4 shrubs.
Ramshaw also levelled our back patio stones.

I had been looking for a company to build me a retaining wall in a challenging spot above ( and set back) from an existing 100 year old stone retaining wall. I finally came across Ramshaw who had stellar reviews.
Cliff returned my phone message quickly, and came out to discuss the project the same week. He gave me a clear idea of what was possible, and recommended putting in weeping tile drainage pipe as well to take
the pressure off the existing wall. Something that other companies had not suggested, but when I consulted an engineer contact I had, he confirmed that that was absolutely necessary for this project.
I had had a bad experience in the past with a contractor, so I had MANY questions and Cliff was happy to have several more phone conversations with me so that I fully understood the complete details of the project, what was involved, as well as confirming that he had a reliable team, and that he would also be onsite for the duration of the project as well. This really put my mind at ease, and I knew I was hiring the right company for this job.
They started exactly when they were booked to come and Cliff was again always happy to answer my questions, and I regularly checked on things to see how it was progressing. There was one glitch early on when they found the original decommissioned gas line pipe was exactly where they wanted to put the posts in, so I had to contact the gas company to come and cut and remove the old line. Which was a two hour delay while they waited for this. Cliff was very easy going about it, and not stressed at all about this glitch, which put my mind at ease. After this brief delay, the project moved forward as planned, and my new retaining wall looks amazing!!
I couldnt be happier with this company
(including Jody in the office!),- and the on-site team were very pleasant to deal with, and super quiet and calm! Everything cleaned up and left neat and tidy. Its such a pleasure to work with a company with such integrity, professionalism, and honesty!

Great service, started & finished when promised. Cliff had good ideas for our project. Workmanship was professional & exceeded expectations. Attention to detail was impressive.

Great job. I would definitely used them again. They were there when they said they would be.

We were very happy with Ramshaw. They responded quickly to our request for an estimate and provided a timely revised estimate when we inquired about adding to our original project. The crew was courteous. The finished areas look great and feel sturdy!

First, I was impressed that Cliff came to discuss the project at the end of his day during the landscaping season. Other contractors I had contacted didnt do this. Cliff listened to what I needed and provided an option that I accepted. I needed the distressed lawn to be removed and replaced by Rundle stone mulch. Originally, I was told it would be October before my project could be completed owing to their other projects. Happily, I was contacted in July and asked if I would be available for the work to be done that month.
The crew did an excellent job of removing the sod without damaging trees and shrubbery on the property. The project was completed in less than two days during very hot temperatures.
