"Justin and his crew did an amazing job of installing a small area of artificial turf. They also whacked our weeds, trimmed our trees and took out dead vegetation. Very hard working, courteous, and priced fairly. Highly recommend."

"We recently had vinyl plank flooring installed in our living room and hallway, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

The craftsmanship and professionalism truly stood out. If you’re looking for a company that delivers quality work with care and integrity, Shepherds Contracting is it!"

"Excellent work on removing a large acacia tree including stump removal. They also planted two new trees and installed the water system. New trees are thriving. It’s been three years. The crew completed the jobs in a half day and were very tidy. A little high on price, but worth it."

"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

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

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.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

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.
