My wife said that Phil from R&R came to do some piping around the house while I was away on a business trip. It was a difficult job that required a number of visits to reduce pressure in the P-Trap, but Phil wouldn’t rest until the pipes were clear.

He was also kind enough to offer his services in trimming the hedges in order to make the piping job go smoother.

R&R is a really great small business that goes the extra mile to get the job done! 10/10 would recommend!

R&R installed a swale along my driveway. Phil also went out of his way to identify other problem areas within my property and after some minor grading, I no longer have wet lawn areas!

R&R Excavation was absolutely amazing to work with! From day one, their communication was excellent—they really listened to what I wanted and took the time to understand my vision. They kept me updated throughout the entire process and made sure everything was clear and transparent.

What impressed me most was how they brought my ideas to life exactly how I imagined, and even better. They finished the job right on schedule and stayed within my budget, which is so rare these days.

I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a company that’s professional, dependable, and truly cares about getting it right, I highly recommend R&R Excavation!

I have worked with Phil and his guys on several occasions and not only is he easy to work with but he's professional, understanding and he has impressed me time and time again with his ability to handle complicated unforeseen obstacles in a timely and effective manor I would recommend Phil 100 out of 100 times and i look forward to the next time I can pull him in to another job.

R&R Excavation and Equipment Rentals responded very quickly with a site evaluation and came out to start work the same week. Phil was very professional and got the job done quickly. Final results exceeded our expectations.
Before R&R came out we had so many invasive plant species it was choking our property and we couldn't even access the area.
Phil did an outstanding job of removing half an acre of nearly impenetrable barberry, burning bush, bittersweet and autumn olive. Most importantly, he removed the roots of the plants so they won't just grow right back. Phil was great at working around the trees we wanted to leave and minimizing ground disturbance. He went above and beyond by cutting up fallen trees that were buried in the mess of undergrowth. My wife and I are very happy to be able to access this property now.
Highly recommend R&R to anyone looking to clear out invasive species from their property. Looking forward to having R&R come out again to work on other areas of our property.

They were punctual, flexible, meticulous and sought feedback at every stage of the work.
They excavated a new additional driveway, regraded the landscape, moved large rocks for a fire pit and much more. They shared ideas and expertise. Stayed in budget which was very reasonable. I will definitely use them again anytime!

We used R&R for our driveway work and trench work. We were so happy with the service and professionalism. When our next job arises we will be using R&R every time. Highly recommend!

Phil worked on our yard filling massive sinkholes and removing buried stumps last year and did a fantastic job. He was very well priced and even extended his work hours several times to get the job done. Would employ again.

Phil is very easy to work with. He is a good communicator and follows through on his commitments. Twice he has come and taken care of tree removal for me, helping me sort through options and then completing the job in a timely manner.
