"Shepherd Contracting remodeled both of my bathrooms and installed new flooring throughout my entire house. Thomas was awesome! He was respectful, easy to work with, and offered way better pricing than other contractors I got estimates from, without compromising on quality. The work turned out 10/10, and I?ll definitely be using them again!"

"We had Gene at Canyon edge Excavating complete our project in Munds Park this week. We needed a trench dug over 100? from a power pole to our property with all the necessary conduit, sweeps, depths etc for APS. Genes communication every step of the way was outstanding! I work in the construction industry dealing with contractors every day and there is no one better. He made sure everything was Blue Staked, ensured all County easements were correct and dealt with APS for the inspections. I highly recommend Gene and Canyon Edge Excavating!! I definitely will be using him again for our pad and other projects."

"We have a vacation home in Prescott Valley and needed to find a reliable person to take care of the outside of our house. I was impressed when the owner Chris (Uber) Ayala quickly answered the phone or calls back right away. Chris has been polite, professional and helpful. He and his crew took care of our neglected front and back yard in Prescott Valley. They removed dead plants and leaves, trimmed shrubs and removed the many weeds that were the result of monsoon rains. Cleaned patio, sidewalk and driveway. The place looks great! Quality, dependable work at a reasonable price. We will be using them on a monthly basis for yard care as we are only there part-time. It's nice to find someone you can depend on when you are not there. We will be using him in the spring to fix our irrigation system."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.
