"The Litaker family and their workers did an awesome job on our newly purchased home in Searcy. We knew it needed a lot of work, especially outside. I dreaded the process of hiring contractors to do the renovation because of all the bad things I hear about contractors not showing up, doing shotty work, lack of communication, etc. After getting quotes from them and meeting them, we decided to use them over others we'd interviewed. They were the whole package and could do anything/everything so we didn't have to deal with multiple contractors to achieve our end goal. Their supply quotes (for new windows, paint, roofing shingles, etc) turned out to be very accurate and they stuck by their labor quotes as well. They installed all new windows, replaced rotten batten boards, painted the entire outside, installed new posts on a wrap around porch, waterproofed a balcony on the 2nd floor and added railing for safety, and installed a new roof on the 1.5 story home. They worked! They didn't hang around shooting the breeze! Rarely ever took any kind of break even for lunch. They actually showed up every day they were scheduled and were very easy to communicate with via telephone and text. The also offered advice on how to save money on our ideas which changed a few of our plans for the better. This was about a 3-4 week project to finalize. We have a few inside projects in the future and we will certainly hire them to come back when we are ready. Lastly, we really enjoyed their personalities. The crew was very personable =)"

"I have to give a HUGE shout out to Mahan Septic Systems and Dirt Work from Hot Springs, AR. We had a stopped up toilet and needed some assistance. We found them on Angi and they contacted us immediately. We made arrangements and they came the next day and found the issue and solved it. They even came back the following day and fixed the toilet lid (which wasn't even on the fix list!). I would highly recommend giving them a call the next time you need any septic and plumbing work. Call (501) 617-7689. Thank you Mahan!"

"It was apparent they were very skilled. They quickly dropped the huge limbs without a scratch on the house, fence or sheds surrounding the tree. They arrived on time and cleaned the area to my satisfaction before leaving. And they were competetively priced! I can't say enough good things about this company."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
