Testimonials

On 3/29/2024 Cary Van Kampen had this to say:
Caleb was great at listening & looking at our desires. He made helpful suggestions resulting in both our projects being not only successful but also worked well and look good. He solved our farmhouse’s downspout situation along with a pooling in the yard with one solution which saved money & time. The other project was taking a low electrical line and installing it under ground. He coordinated a great electrian to be there at the same time while Caleb had the appropriate equipment for the ground work to be completed efficiently. We’re planning on future projects with Caleb.

I run a prairie growing company. He has done a lot of prairie planting for us. Thousands of acres. He does an amazing job and communicates better than any other contractor I've worked with... and I've worked with a lot.

On 3/29/2024 Doug Harris had this to say:
I had DC Underground trench for downspouts at our home. Caleb was very responsive and helpful in not only the trenching, but he even helped me lay the pipe and then backfilled. I would highly recommend DC Underground whether it is for trenching or waterlines. Caleb and his team will treat you right.
