"Run! Do NOT hire John for ANY work on your property. After 3 months of work, this is what we ended up with. He claimed that the ground he cleared for our pasture was "ready for our horses." After 3 months of work, this is what little he got done on our 3 acres of pasture. He was also to install a culvert and entry to the driveway and you can see the very thin layer of clay that he laid down and what the result of the driveway looks like. After giving him over $20,000 and repeatedly telling him explicitly that he needed to complete the job, we finally had to call the Sheriffs office to get him to leave because was screaming & yelling & acting completely unprofessional. This guy has the gift of gab and he will talk you in circles. After having the Sheriffs called & telling him he was no longer allowed on our property, we had to hire another company to correct & finish the disaster he created. They were able to clear 18 acres in 2 weeks & John couldn't properly clear 3 acres in 3 months."

"The lack of integrity and quality of work was not what I expected from a company that has been around for so long. Work ethic and quality of work has greatly diminished over the years. We paid over $21,000 for electrical on a remodel and instead of replacing 40+ year old wiring, they just spliced parts of new wire to the old wire AND left most of the wiring hanging down on the ground. They also had cut the wire in several places and did not fix it until we called them. I would not recommend them or the contractors that use them (Pressnell Enterprises)"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.
