"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."

"They were on time, removed 50ft limbs expertly and in a timely manner. They stacked the wood (which was very large and heavy) and cleaned the area. This was greatly appreciated as my husband is 80yrs ( don't tell anyone) and this would have been extremely difficult for him to accomplish. They were in touch the next day to make sure things were done right. I would highly recommend this service."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
