What Our Customers Say
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Daniella DumphTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seth Dumph and STRATA EXCAVATION were amazing. In March 2025, they constructed the access to an easement from County Rt 2 in Weld County for me. They were fast and efficient and always responded quickly to my questions. I was feeling so over my head and had no idea how I would go about this. ( I'm a 71-year-old psychotherapist and live 1800 miles away!). Seth hired the surveyor on my behalf and even made the case on my behalf at the permitting and public works department that an initially required culvert was unnecessary. In so doing, he saved me money. This company goes the extra mile, so I can't recommend them enough.Posted on Lisa LoustaunauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. True professionals !!! Showed up on time, did the work correctly and it was the price that we agreed upon. I do Recommend Strada excavating. Hopefully the next project is on the Horizon. Shop/barn is next. With a basement !! Thank you Seth we’ll be I touch again soonPosted on Price DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Michael Beck
