Nick and team were absolutely amazing!! The entire process was very enjoyable. From the time I met Nick for the estimate all the way to the completion of the job he was nothing but professional. He estimated 3 days to complete the job and his team even in the rain knocked it out in 2!!! I highly recommend anyone that is looking for outside of their home upgrades to give Nick a call ASAP!! I would give 10 stars if I could!!!

We moved in to our new home in Melville a little over a year ago and quickly learned that we have problems with drainage. Our house is on a hill and we were getting tons of stormwater runoff that would sit in our yard for days. The problem got even worse when we had a retaining wall built to try to level some of the property. We called Lake Norman and the owner, Nick, answered right away. He came over within an hour of and within another hour we made a deal for him and his crew to come over to install a french drain and regrade the property. Nick, his foreman Marcos, and their hardworking crew went above and beyond to troubleshoot and solve the problem. It turned out that we had a massive amount of hard, packed, clay soil that just wouldn’t soak up any water. On top of that, the property was graded poorly and didn’t allow water to run away from the yard. All told, Nick, Marcos and his crew carted away several truckloads of the garbage clay soil and replaced it with beautiful loamy material. Then they dug at least 15 feet down into the soil until they hit sand and installed a large dry well. They also installed a huge french drain behind our retaining wall which goes down at least 9 feet, well below the footing of the wall, and drains into sand. We really appreciated Lake Norman’s work so much that we ended up having them install beautiful sod to replace the grass after the project was finished and add a couple of other features to our landscaping. After our first rainstorm, which was pretty significant, we didn’t have a single puddle. We are extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Lake Norman if you have drainage issues, especially here in the Melville/Strathmore Hills area. Now we are looking forward to using our beautiful yard in the spring without having to worry about having a soggy, muddy lawn. Nick, Marcos, and his crew are hardworking, meticulous, and a pleasure to work with. Nick is also extremely responsive and is very concerned that his customers are satisfied. He asked many times to make sure we are happy and even called a few weeks after they finished to make sure everything is okay. I don’t think I’ve had a better experience with a contracting company.

Nick and his crew did an amazing job at my house located in Bay Shore, New York in Suffolk County. I found Lake Norman Long Island Excavating on Google. 9/10 times I always make my decisions based on reviews. I had recieved a couple estimates from other companies that were priced lower but their reviews were 50/50 and the way the estimates went they didn’t seem confident with their work. When I came across Lake Norman Excavating I noticed that every review that I read was great and everyone was pleased with their work, so I scheduled an estimate right away. When I purchased my house around 10 years ago I quickly noticed a lot of poor building mistakes as well as a lot of corners that were cut with renovations the previous owner had done. One of which was how the gutters were ran draining against the foundation of my house. Over the years I noticed it getting worse and worse and I knew I’d have to have the property properly graded. The owner Nick and his foreman Marcos explained everything wrong with what was going on and walked me through step by step what they would do to fix it the right way, that way I would’nt have any recurrences. They installed drainage pipes from the gutters which they ran to a dry well that they installed in my yard. They graded my entire property, removed tree stumps pushing up and on my PVC fence, installed a new sod lawn, installed a raised sewer cap so I wouldn’t have to dig up my nice new lawn every time I need my cesspool pumped, installed a new sprinkler system, installed new PVC gates, removed an old concrete patio and driveway. They installed a new asfault driveway with paver border, a paver walkway, and a beautiful paver patio. Marcos laser leveled everything and made sure it was all pitched perfectly away from the house. He graded and leveled with surgical precision. He was meticulous with everything he did down to the smallest detail. They did an amazing job and I highly recommend Lake Norman Long Island Excavating and look foward to hiring them again on future projects I have planned.

I spoke with Nick about the service I needed and he was so very accommodating, friendly and helpful! Although I was unable to have his FIVE STAR company do the work I needed, he was very willing to help me to find the right person for the job! Who takes the time like that anymore to help someone out? It does my heart good to know there are still people like Nick in this world. Based on the other reviews I’ve seen, I can easily see why his is a FIVE STAR company! Thank you SO MUCH Nick!

Nick and his crew did a fantastic job. I had water leaking into my basement due to poor yard drainage. The whole process was very organized and the team worked very hard from morning till evening. They were very transparent throughout the whole process and kept me informed of all the progress that was being made. They were also extremely clean and left the grounds in way better shape than it originally was. Overall, the job was fairly priced . Most importantly, I have not had any problems so far with water entering my basement despite recent heavy rain. I also have to say that Nick is extremely responsive and returns my phone calls in a very timely fashion. I am very happy with the work and highly recommend Nick and his team to anyone looking for help with yard drainage problems!!!
