Customer Reviews
Real feedback from our clients across North Georgia
“My husband and I had massive issues with our yard. Of all the people that came out we felt like this company was the most suitable for our needs. Kris transformed it and exceeded all our expectations. He went above and beyond by not only completing the job with precision but also offering insightful suggestions. It's rare to find someone who takes such pride in their work. We highly recommend Kris and Addison Excavation to anyone in need of any services.”

“I ran into Chris while I was stranded with a dead battery. The van for our small nonprofit struggles some days and today was one of those. Chris took time out of his day to maneuver his entire rig (excavator, trailer, and all) to give me a jump. Quality of character and then some, so very grateful!”

“We are so happy with the work we had done by Addison's! We had 2 large trailers excavated, other debris and trash removed. They then did some forest mulching and we added a trench to be dug last minute. The prices were below our expectations but the work above!! They were quick on time and finished quickly. The guys were super nice and personable — Chris, Lee and Cody. We would highly recommend them!”
