"I can’t say enough great things about Shepherd Contracting! From start to finish, they made my kitchen remodel an absolute breeze. I had braced myself for months of chaos, dust, and disruption, but they completely shattered those expectations. Their team understands that you’re living in your home during the renovation and goes out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible. The attention to detail, clear communication, and professionalism were second to none. They kept everything on schedule and clean throughout the process. Not only did they deliver a stunning kitchen that exceeded my expectations, but they also made what is usually a stressful experience smooth and hassle-free. If you’re looking for a contractor who genuinely cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to deliver both quality craftsmanship and exceptional service, look no further than Shepherd Contracting. I would recommend."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

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.

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.
