Soil Removal Mount Maunganui, Tauranga

Eric’s communication throughout has been excellent. He quoted 2/3 days for our job and finished the job by 2pm on the second day. Eric and 2 helpers worked very hard the first day and cleaned up very well when the job was completed. No extra add ons to the cost. We would highly recommend him for any jobs like this . In fact we have our next job lined up for him to do when mutually agreed. A delightful young man to deal with. We’re pleased the back garden is now flat and ready for us to seed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I posted a job to have my garden dug out and levelled, with very specific instructions on where the dirt was to be placed and how it needed to be piled, as well as a strict timeframe. Every expectation was met. Even though this was a small job, it was treated to a high standard from start to finish. Communication was clear, the work was done exactly as agreed, and everything was delivered on time. I can highly recommend Complete Civil, they stuck to their word and delivered!
