TESTIMONIALS

What Our Happy Clients Are Saying...

Train in Portola, California

"We have been partnering with McGarr Excavation on all of our projects since 2016.  The team has been a pleasure to work with at every turn.  From steep slope lots in Donner Lake, to large complex custom home excavations in Grey’s Crossing and Grizzly Ranch.  From road building to home sites in the Sierra Valley and Sierra City, to exemplary utility and septic installs. They’ve tackled them all with ease.  They are always able to work within our schedules, and consistently exceed our timeline expectations.  Budgeting jobs with Tyler has always been fair and consistent, and negotiations easy.  If you are looking for a seamless excavation for your custom home, commercial project, or utility work, McGarr Excavation will not disappoint! They are great people, with positive attitudes, that work hard to get the job done."
