"My experience with Rock Excavating was great! I had met with two Contractors previously for an estimate and they never even called me back. I met with Rock Landscaping and he assured me He could help me with my earthquake damaged hill that my house sits on as well as my driveway that was allowing water from the street to pool up against my foundation. The owner gave me updates on the progress of the job and didn't waste a minute getting in and saving my home from falling off the side of a forty foot hill! Re-sloped my driveway too, so now my foundation is not taking on a ton of water. The owner sensed the urgency in my Contractor needs and jumped right into action. I highly recommend Rock Landscaping!"

"Alaska Foundation Technologies (AFT) excavated the entire 20" wall down to and including the footing partially with a small excavator but mostly by hand.  The soil removed was relocated to another area on my property.  They removed the crushed Egress Box, the old covering on the exterior wall (Tar Paper which had been Hot Mopped), power washed the All Weather Wood sheeting, installed Bituthain mastic over the sheeting, rebuilt the Egress Box to code and attached it to the foundation walls.  In addition they installed 2" Foam Board to the entire wall (which was not part of their initial design).  They then installed  a  4" perforated drain pipe the length of the 20' wall and continued approximately another 30' with a solid drain pipe where it reached  "daylight".  They back filled the area excavated with 2" minus drain rock.  All construction materials were removed to my satisfaction, the lawn damage was minimal.  On the interior of the Bedroom, they repaired 3 studs.  I removed the sheetrock, installed new R-21 insulation installed replacement sheetrock on the interior wall (I had agreed to do this before hand to keep the cost down a little bit).
This contractor was prompt, punctual, completed the work ahead of schedule, and provided me with a written agreement on scope of work and cost before the work was started.  The also Warranted their materials and workmanship for five years."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.
