Kyle did a fantastic job on my driveway at the lake! He’s very meticulous, easy to work with, and delivers an exceptional end product. He did a few extra things for me that I greatly appreciated. I’ve recommended to several friends. He does quality work, he’s honest, he tells you if there may be extra costs, and then does beautiful work as promised.

A Huge Thanks to Smith Excavating! Kyle came over the morning I called, looked at the Mess I made, still agreed to do the work at a more than fair price and started a couple hours later. Very happy with the yard and Driveway/Garage site. Already planning other work so would definitely recommend.

Response from the owner

Thanks Nick for the business, glad we could help out with the project at hand!

Great job Smith Excavating! Great communication, advice and honesty, for pulling over grown bushes out and advice on what to do with a retaining wall so it wouldn’t be so costly. Thank you Kyle! Highly recommend!

When he came over to look at my driveway, we discussed what needed to be done to fix the water problem I had washing out my driveway. We agreed on a plan and he scheduled me in for the work and within a few days he was ready to do the work. I was very pleased the way it turned out, he even worked late so I could have my driveway that evening instead of finishing the next day. I would recommend Kyle for any of your Escavating work.

Response from the owner

Thank you Dennis for your business!

From the Google listing, checked 30 Aug 2026.

Several customers describe excavation and grading work handled by Kyle, often on a fast timeline. Nick says he "came over the morning I called" and the work started a couple of hours later. Dennis describes a driveway washout fixed on an agreed plan, finished a few days later with the crew staying late so the drive was usable that evening. Stan mentions backfilling dirt around a mobile home and shaping it for seed, and Jan describes loads of brought-in dirt leveled into a backyard with a skid steer.

Local Ground

Around Harrisburg, the main drain-field limit is slow water movement: water leaves the soil too slowly for a conventional field to keep up. Site conditions on any one lot can differ from the map. See the Harrisburg city page for the full soil profile.

Before You Call

A new septic system is usually decided once per property, when a home is being built or an older field has to come out. Smith Excavating installs new systems, and that choice starts with a conversation about the lot you have in mind. One question worth asking on the phone: how would they approach the dig on ground like yours?
