We recently had Southern Sask Construction come to our house to do a large backyard landscape project! They had excavated and graded the whole site for proper drainage. As well as added patio pavers, artificial turf, edging, mulch, dog run & much more!
They arrived on schedule and completed it in the time line they promised. The final pricing was definitely in range of what we hoped.
They worked long hours and communicated strong throughout the whole project! I highly recommend Southern Sask Constructions & I would definitely hire them again!!
I was looking for a contractor for a long time before I came across Southern Sask Construction. My basement had been leaking and the contractor I had talked to about doing waterproofing didn't have the time, he said, to do the excavating, and so I talked with Derek after finding his company. He gave me a fair price and worked well with the other contractors employees and came in within the budget and without problems. I even asked him to dig a short trench so I could plumb in my natural gas barbecue and he did it without charging me. Overall, great work and a good person. The only con I might have is that the waterproofing contractor was usually waiting for digging, only a few days, but I imagine that was due to the fact he had other jobs that were also waiting. I'd definitely recommend Southern Sask Construction and, in fact, I was going to hire him again this year to dig my pool--until the "C" word hit.
Derek from Southern Sask Construction completed backfill, leveling and grading skid steer work in our yard. His work was fast and efficient, done properly and was a very reasonable price. Derek ensured the yard was cleaned up after the work was completed, and made sure we were satisfied with the job. Derek is very knowledgeable about the field and we would hire him again without question.
I am able to highly recommend this contractor I found him to be both efficient and thorough. His work was well done and as my wife says “it looks amazing “ i would gave absolutely no problem in using his services again.
We hired Derek Lloyd from South Sask to dig out around our foundation for waterproofing. Derek started on June 22nd of 2019. He dug out the North wall and a portion of the East wall. He asked for half payment which we provided (our mistake). He was supposed to come back to dig out the West wall and a portion of the South wall but never did. Derek jerked us around for over a month until we finally had to hire someone else to finish the job.
Derek also dug the North trench way too close to our neighbor's sidewalk and half of that trench caved in. New guy took one look at that trench and said "what the @$#@ was he thinking?! You NEVER dig that close to a sidewalk because they're all resting on sand".
When Derek dug to the footing he only exposed the 2" of the footing face so I had to hand dig the rest to get the weeping tile below the top of footing. The other excavator's trenches exposed the entire face of the footing. The 2nd guys work put Derek's to shame.
If you're digging a trout pond out in a field or putting in a culvert in the country maybe Derek's work would be OK but don't pay him until he is 100% done. If your work is in the city or close to a neighbor then definitely hire someone else. Personally I'd look elsewhere no matter what I was getting done. Nice guy but poor work and service.
