"I hired this outstanding excavation contractor to clear 5 acres of raw land, develop a roadway, install a culvert and driveway, and create a wildlife trail — and I can’t recommend them enough. From day one, they treated my vision with care, patiently walking the property, listening closely, and offering smart, practical advice on every phase. They didn’t just follow instructions — they improved them, suggesting optimal grading, drainage, and trail routing to preserve nature while building function. Tree clearing was done methodically, respecting the land’s contours. The roadway is solid, accessible, and thoughtfully routed. The culvert and driveway were installed with precision, ensuring long-term durability and proper water flow. The wildlife trail was crafted with intention — preserving canopy, avoiding erosion, and blending into the woods. It’s not just a path , it’s a habitat. I’m thrilled they’ll return to help dig a pond, a centerpiece I know they’ll execute with precisio"

"Very professional and efficient. Took down 2, 40ft tall diseased pine trees that posed imminent harm to my home. They cleaned up all debris and removed the trees in a timely manner. Throughout the process they let me know what they were doing and what and when they would complete the job. I would 💯 percent refer them for your project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.
