Port Angeles Landscape Design / Build

A business is made up of people, and a good business takes good people. Dominique and Jimmy are exceptional people, hence an exceptional business with exceptional results. I can't recommend Dominic and Jimmy highly enough, and their crew at the time, Cyler and Alex. What impressed me most was their human kindness, the respect they treated me and my husband with, transparency, efficiency, savvy, skill, tenacity, eye to details, willingness to keep us informed and involved with the decision making every step of the way when the unexpected occurred or to consult others as needed. Not to mention we enjoyed their sense of humor. They never lost sight of our goals and wants and went out of their way and above and beyond to make that happen if they could. If a part of our plan was not possible, they brought ideas and solutions forward. Key to the success of our project, in my estimation, was their commitment to this community: their firm belief that cooperation and helping each other out builds good working networks that serves not only the businesses but their customers as well. They sought out the best deals possible for us. They were meticulous in the details, taking their time to consult as a team to the best next steps when challenges were encountered whether that was in materials not available in a timely way, delays in the permit process, on sight realities not matching the engineering guidelines, weather... They worked in a tight area with big machinery, conscious of our neighbors. They left the alley behind our house and our neighbors driveway, which they got permission to turn their equipment around in, in better condition than they found it. They showed up when they said they would and when they couldn't they communicated with us as soon as possible. A fire broke out near our home in the middle of the job one late afternoon. We were notified we may need to evacuate. They had an excavator and backhoe on the premises and I called them to warn them so they could come and move their gear to a safer location. They brought an extra driver and truck to help move us and our belongings as well. Not only do I trust them with excavating, but with our lives as well. My husband and I hired the Dig'Um Dirtworks crew to excavate our steeply sloped back yard, put in three step terraces using large allen block for the two retaining walls with drainage system to meet city requirements. They helped landscape it and put in a moderate sized flagstone patio, delivered and placed a BIG rock, helped us lay the ground for a 16x16 foot labyrinth and a gravel pad for a workshop. When the job was done, they came and volunteered their time and helped Bob put up solar panels on his new shop. Trust is earned. They are trustworthy which is no small thing. We are two senior citizens very grateful for their generosity and expertise in helping make our retirement dreams come true. - 1/09/2025 

Dom, Jimmy, and crew did great work. Dom spent hours with me, just walking the property to really understand what we wanted and needed. He recommended ideas to save us money, even when it meant less of them. They worked hard and fast and the outcome was fantastic. Cannot recommend them enough. We will definitely have them come back as more projects are needed down the line. - 12/07/2024 

Dominic came out the same day I called for an estimate on leveling my gravel driveway as well as adding a parking pad. They got me on the schedule and completed the work within 3 days of my original call! Very friendly crew of Dominic, Jimmy and Skyler finished the job quickly and I was very happy with the quality of work. I would absolutely work with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for dirtwork. - 9/27/2024 

Much like other reviews have already called out, Dig'um was fantastic to work with and extremely easy to communicate with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or hire them again. The crew showed up ready to work and the completion of our project (driveway, excavation, and other work) wrapped on schedule. - 9/25/2024 

Dominic and his team were an amazing help in preparing our new property to become livable. They answered all my questions (and calls and texts!) and went above and beyond to help. It can be challenging to dive into developing land for the first time and they made it so much easier. Absolutely hiring them for any future work. Thanks Dig Um! - 9/25/2024 

We had an idea for a small pond and Dom and Jim created a plan and did the work in a very professional and customer focused manner. Would not hesitate to use them again. - 9/25/2024 

I hired Dig’um to put in a driveway and gravel pad and connect water to a rural property. Dom went above and beyond with clear communication throughout the process and did his best to get the job done ahead of schedule. He respectfully answered all my questions (even the dumb ones) connected me with a good electrician, and followed up upon completion several times to make sure everything was as expected and there weren’t any unforeseen issues with settling etc. A great, honest and thoughtful crew, highly recommended. I won’t hesitate to hire them again in the future. - 5/31/2024 

Called back promptly, showed up for a bid promptly, showed up and did the work within our timeline and got it done promptly. Did an excellent job and Dominic was a pleasure to work with. Definitely would hire again! - 5/08/2024 

Dom & Jimmy did an amazing job! Every evening I walked out and couldn’t believe the progress they were making. They were professional and even helped entertain my pups while I was at work. Thank you guys!! So happy with the results. - 8/11/2023 

Jimmy & Dominic did everything as agreed. They dug a drainage ditch, installed a culvert and left the finished area clean. They were not only quick to meet with me and supply a clear quote, but got the job done efficiently and promptly after their quote was accepted. I recommend them highly. - 8/11/2023 

Dom and Jimmy are amazing. They were very responsive to my calls, both came by the worksite the same day I inquired, and showed genuine care and attention to detail throughout the project. I had them excavate and put in a level gravel pad and everything turned out great! They are technically skilled but also highly creative. Can't recommend them enough! Thanks guys! - 8/11/2023 

My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Dig ‘Um Dirtworks. They helped us envision our project with artistry and knowledge about how to solve the particular quirks of our terrain. Their bid was clear, fair, and complete with a visual rendering. They communicated with us consistently during the build and completed the work ahead of schedule. We are thrilled with their work building retaining walls, drainage, hot tub pad, fortified road, and parking spot and will return to them for future projects. - 6/11/2023 

I was shocked...that these guys contacted me right away, scheduled a look see at the quarry THAT DAY and had GEORGEOUS rocks in my yard the next day. I am still recovering from such great service as most transactions these days are frustrating and devoid of happiness so thanks Jimmy and Dom! - 5/11/2023 

Efficient and ambitious. A pleasure to work with. Will be hiring them back. They knocked out our site prep and driveway no problem. Would recommend for hire. - 5/11/2023 

Jimmy and Dominic helped me with an excavation project for a sewer and water line connection to my ADU in Sequim, as well as tying to the existing sewer line. Jimmy and Dominic were a great resource and helped navigate the locate process and city requirements. They conducted the job from start to finish in the most professional, responsive, and diligent manner. Jimmy was very skilled with an excavator in a rather tight area and has managed to preserve all fruit trees and sidewalk. He took the time to clean the work area after the job was done. I've already recommended them to my friends. - 5/11/2023 

Upon completion of having our home built, we were left with what seemed like a million other pressing issues. We reached out to Dig'Um Dirtworks who were just finishing up with a couple of larger excavation projects. Upon our initial meeting, Dom and Jimmy were very accommodating. They both took the time to ask a lot of questions, share suggestions, and provided us a timeline for each project. They even went above and beyond by taking care of all the ordering, pick-ups, and deliveries for the needed materials. Wow! Talk about efficiency when it comes to timely completion and cost savings, and this was even with COVID-19 going on. Dom and Jimmy systematically: Cleared and removed 3/4 acres+ of trees, stumps, and heavy brush including scotch broom; Built a retaining rock wall that is 8' @ highest point by 120+ long; Expanded our driveway to accommodate two more vehicles with the bonus features of a convenient turn around and berm with landscaping for a stunning entrance; Installed curtain drain of 100' as well as the piping and installation of a convenient water spicket. To top it off, I asked for a fire pit, and they built us what they called a pig pit with rockery. Their commitment to ensure a job well done, conviction and passion for what they do, and consistency to show up day-in and day-out regardless, is simply .... Outstanding! Our retired neighbors even drove, or came by daily, to admire and commend Dom & Jimmy on their professionalism and dedication to their work. They are very much a part of our Ohana .... We are truly blessed and grateful. - 4/11/2023 

We hired Dig'Um Dirtworks to help us clear and prepare acreage in order to build a home. They pulled and burned stumps, put in a gravel driveway, installed a curtain drain and sump pump, trenched for electrical and water, installed a gravel pad for a foundation AND grated the 1.5 acres of cleared the property! All was done in an efficient and professional manner. They work extremely hard and take pride in the services they offer. We won't think twice about hiring them again! - 3/11/2023 

Dig'Um excavated and backfilled a 300+ foot trench for water and power utilities at my property and did a great job. They worked closely around the gate and trees without damaging anything and were easy to schedule and communicate with. - 3/11/2023 

I hired Dig’Um Dirtworks to clear two acres, build a driveway, build a retaining wall, create a curtain drain, and dig trenches for power and water to the road. They were professional, always on time, and got the work done quickly and within the budget we discussed. I would recommend them for your property’s excavation needs! - 3/11/2023 

I used Dig’Um for installing power on our new property. They showed up quickly, did what was discussed, went the extra mile and all at a great price. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future - 3/11/2023
