"Absolutely love how my bathroom remodel turned out! The team at Shepherd Contracting was super professional and made the whole process so easy. They worked fast but didn’t cut any corners, and everything looks amazing. Communication was great the whole way through, and they actually stuck to the timeline (which never happens with renovations lol). Plus, they kept everything really clean, which I totally appriciated. If you’re thinking about remodeling, I 100% recommend them!"
"They're awesome, they are so good! Brian Hampton is phenomenal. They over deliver in everything they do. They truly are awesome. I've already recommended them to other people."
"They wrote up a complete Scope of Work detailing the work to be done including all costs. They showed up on time and did a very nice job of trimming two trees. They were very professional and charged $850 less than other businesses who bid on the job. I will definitely use them again in the future."
"Mr. Wallot was always on time. He stands behind his work and is very professional. I will be using Wallots for all of my fuel management and excavation needs to come. Fast. Reliable. Efficient. Motivated. A real hard worker."
"Great to work with. He understood my needs and exceeded them. I will use again without a second thought. If you need any grading to be done Morris Excavating is who you want."
"Fast and professional service, great communication, and fair prices. I will definitely hire Absolute Construction again. Our yard looks fantastic now, thanks!"
"Scottgave me a fair price for mowing at my retirement property in Prescott. So I hired him. He was quick and did it right away. A local resident advised the work was good. So I'm happy and expect to hire Nostab again when cutting is next needed."
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.
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.
You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
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.
As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
