I’d recommend them to anyone needing septic system replacement, or repairs. Had the entire old system out, and replaced with the new one in less than a week! Had the tank hooked up and ready to use in hours. My family didn’t even have to wait a day to shower, or use the bathroom. Fast, and the pinnacle of quality. Call them for sure!"

"Highly recommend! We were putting in an above ground pool ourselves this summer. The ground we needed to level was entirely clay. Carlson Outdoor Services was quick to help! Very responsive to communicate with us, on time with everything Logan said, and very professional. I’d probably still be digging and leveling by hand if Logan hadn’t helped! On top of it all, everyone I met was actually a nice person to work with."

"We had a nightmare experience with another septic company that left us in a really bad spot, but thankfully we found Carlsons. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and clearly took pride in their work. A special shoutout to Logan, who came out the very same day to give us an estimate after the other company walked away. That level of service alone gave us so much peace of mind, and he really took the time to explain everything clearly. The entire crew worked hard, paid attention to detail, and made sure the job was done right. You can tell they actually care about the quality of their work and about their customers which something that’s really hard to find these days. We are so grateful to them for turning a stressful situation into a positive one. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs septic work done."

Logan not only quoted it at a great price, he traveled to TC and had it done in a week. Excellent clean up of the site afterwards as well. Highly recommend!!"

"Every step of this septic field installation was completely obnoxious until we reached out to Carlson Outdoor Services. We received a quote the same day we requested it from Logan. He walked us through the entire process and we scheduled for the following week. The crew showed up on time and worked through excruciating heat to get our job completed within two days. I am beyond impressed and grateful. The crew kept me updated on inspections and gave honest time frames adjustments that were due to the inspector and rain delays we had. I honestly can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. I would give more stars if I could."

"We hired Carlson to remove our old septic and install a new one,in a different location. The weather held Logan and his team up for a couple days. But once they started it went pretty quick. Finish grade was real good. Would definitely recommend them."

"We live in an old house that has been having issues with drains and septic for years. We have routinely had to have our drains snaked and septic tank pumped. Our main drain started to back up again and we had a plumber out who informed us the main septic line from our house to our tank completely collapsed. It was probably failing for years and causing most of the issues we were dealing with that no one else caught. Greeeeatttttt. We had to rip apart our deck and trench to the pipe which was completely ruined. We called a few septic companies to come give us a quote and help us figure out what to do. The whole thing was extremely stressful and not being able to use any water in the house left us very frustrated. I am so grateful we called Carlson Outdoor Services. They were the third and last company I called. Logan and his team were incredible. He answered right away and listened to me panic-ramble about a situation I barely understood. He assured me he could come out that day to give us a quote. Logan and Kai came out, assessed the situation and used a camera to show me our pipe had collapsed the rest of the way to our tank. He traced the pipe to ensure the location and gave me a beyond reasonable quote. Even better news was that he could come and do the work the next day! I felt confident about going with Carlson Outdoor which was refreshing as I usually second-guess my decisions. Logan arrived with another worker who completed the job in about three hours! They were SO friendly, ambitious, kind and professional. Everything you want in a service pro and business! They answered all 1,484,393 questions I had and took pictures of the schematics for my husband. They were extremely careful with our gas line and property. Logan even spent time afterwards explaining things about the new setup and showing me the flow from the new clean out to the tank. I appreciate that so much. We can't recommend this company enough! We plan to use Carlson Outdoor for more projects in the future without question. It is so nice to know we have someone local we can trust. We had had some rough experiences and this was truly one of the best! TLDR: HIGHLY recommend Carlson Outdoor Services. Logan and crew are kind, patient, friendly, professional and quick! The service was thorough and the price was very reasonable. They will treat you like family and like your business is truly important to them. Service like that is so hard to come by these days. Call them! You won't regret it."

"The team was great! They came out on short notice when we had an emergency with the septic tank, diagnosed the issue, quickly got all the permits in place, contacted Miss Dig and hit the target date for the new septic tank install. Very pleased."
