Trustworthy, efficient, and considerate are just a few words to describe Mike and his crew. When we realized we needed to replace the huge retaining wall on our property, we felt overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. A competitor’s quote was so beyond our means, even with assistance from the bank, we felt hopeless. The competitor would have left us without a retaining wall, while sacrificing a large portion of our driveway and our entire front yard. From the start, Mike put our minds at ease. He found a smart, budget-friendly solution that saved our entire front yard and completed the project within weeks, before winter arrived. His team went above and beyond, even repairing and leveling our driveway after the work was done, which we hadn’t expected. We’re so grateful for their hard work and professionalism. Mike and his crew will be our first recommendation to anyone in need of this kind of work.
I cannot say enough positive things about Superior Yard Works and the exceptional service they provided. From the initial consultation through to the completion of the work, the entire experience was professional, efficient, and reassuring. The basement waterproofing work was completed with an impressive level of attention to detail and workmanship. It was evident that the team takes genuine pride in what they do, and they approached the job with knowledge, care, and a strong commitment to doing things properly. The septic pumping service was equally thorough and professionally handled. What truly sets Superior Yard Works apart, however, is the owner. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, respectful, and genuinely kind. He took the time to explain the work, answer questions, and ensure everything was understood without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. That level of communication and integrity is becoming increasingly difficult to find. It is clear that Superior Yard Works values their customers and stands behind the quality of their work. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending them to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy service. Excellent workmanship, excellent customer service, and an owner who genuinely cares about doing the job right. Highly recommended!
Mike and his team did an amazing job with the excavation work at my house I couldn't be happier. They were fast and efficient Mike was great to deal with as well very friendly and professional I definitely recommend
I had such a positive experience with Mike and his crew when replacing my retaining wall. Everyone I dealt with was hard-working, positive, and professional. The job was done on time, on budget, and it looked great when it was done. Highly recommend this company!
I hired Mike last year to dig out a septic lid. Although an hour out of Thunder Bay, he had no problems coming up. He was exactly on time and the job was done quick and clean. A bit more work than anticipated but Mike stuck to his original price, which was cheaper than local. The following year we needed a complete tank install. I called Mike again and he had no issues doing a bigger job out of town. Again, on time ,job was done quicker than anticipated and considering the wet /rainy condition it was done clean. The price again was better than I could find elsewhere. After the job was complete he volunteered to return after dry up and a bit of fill hauled to do a final tidy up. I highly recommend Mike from Superior Yard Works. In Mike's words" don't worry, Got ya"

Mike and team did a great job with our basement waterproofing project. Mike also made sure his guys were safe, taking time to explain all the details with his crew throughout the project. We were kept informed of what was going on along the way, and for such an invasive project with limited access around our house they did everything they could to get it all back to normal. I would recommend Superior Yard Works to anyone experiencing basement water infiltration.

I recently faced a significant challenge with water incursion in my basement, and Superior Yard Works came to my rescue. They went above and beyond in addressing this issue, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Superior Yard Works conducted a meticulous excavation around the back half of my house, ensuring the safety of the operation. They cleaned the foundation wall, expertly filled all cracks, repaired any damaged concrete with precision, and applied Blueskin and dimple-board for added protection. One of the standout aspects of their service was the replacement of the weeping tile, which played a crucial role in solving my basement water problems. They executed this task flawlessly. After all the necessary repairs, they backfilled and landscaped the area, leaving my property looking better than it ever has. In my opinion, Superior Yard Works is the go-to company for waterproofing and foundation repair in Thunder Bay. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to solving the issue at its root is commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone dealing with similar problems.
Mike and his crew were great. They did everything we asked and when an issue with our foundation was discovered they brainstormed and came up with a fix. We were very happy with the final results
