"When my wife and I bought our first home we found we could not get in the garage without our cars scraping in the driveway. We had Maven and a few other contractors come out and give us quotes. Brandon came out and impressed us with the detail of his quote and planning and then surprised us by having the lowest quote. Initially they planned on getting our work done in a couple of weeks because they were busy, but they moved some stuff around and got to us within a week because they knew we were excited to move into our house. On the first day they tore up the bad section of driveway and refilled it with gravel to ensure our cars would be able to get in the garage. Even though I initially thought this was a bit much we found out getting the driveway just right was a bit more complex than it looked. Sadly no matter what they tried we couldn't get my wife's sedan in one garage door because of how the rest of the driveway was laid but could Gerry my car in after a couple of tries. Now we are looking on our beautiful new driveway section and cannot wait to finally get in our garage with ease!! And when we have enough money saved up to redo the rest of the driveway or any other concrete work done we know who to call! We highly recommend them to all of our friends and anyone looking for high quality work at a very reasonable price!"

"Andy has done quite a lot for me at my home. On this occasion he came in and took out sink/vanities in both my bathrooms complete with facets and put in new. He painted both bathrooms. He installed two new cabinets above my toilets for more storage, and installed two mirrored cabinets above the vanities. I never felt that I needed to keep on him. He worked the whole time he was here and did an excellent job. I have had him here to my home several times for inside & outside work. I foresee him coming back in the very near future."

"DigForce Excavation did an excellent job digging out my tornado shelter. They used an excavator and a skid steer, which made the work fast, efficient, and precise. The crew was professional, worked safely, and left the area clean when they were finished. I?m very satisfied with the quality of their work and would highly recommend DigForce Excavation to anyone needing excavation services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
