"The cutting and removal was done quickly and exactly the way we wanted it done. It was a tricky cut but it was done perfectly. I would hire them again because they were on time and made sure there were no surprises."

"We recently had vinyl plank flooring installed in our living room and hallway, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very beginning, Shepherds Contracting was transparent, informative, and fair with pricing. The installation itself was seamless—no gaps, no mess, and absolutely no stress. 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."

"I highly recommend Chris with Carben Earth. We met Chris while building our home a few months ago. Chris completed the building site, hookup for water and electrical, and completed the septic system. We were so impressed with Chris that we hired him after the house was completed to install pavers in the front yard and he completed a no climb horse fence around the entire acre property. Chris has since completed other dirt work on the property, and I intend to have him install a metal workshop in the rear yard. Chris is knowledgeable, reliable which makes the job run smoothly."

"I have worked with many contractors over the years and H-Bros Excavating is by far the best experience I have ever had. They showed up when they said they would to provide an estimate. They started the job at the time they said they would. They kept me informed of the progress, what was going to be needed, each next step, and met the completion time they projected. When they were almost done, I found that I had not communicated exactly what I needed and it wasn't done quite the way I had intended. After I was clear on what it was I wanted, without a blink, sour word, or any frustration, they simply went to work to give me what I wanted. The entire mistake was mine for not being clear and yet they were happy to fix what was almost done. All of this and the final bill was exactly what I had been originally quoted. You will not fine a more professional or personable company anywhere. Their attention to detail and desire to provide me with what I wanted is unparalled. I will use them again and I will recommend them to anyone needed an excavating company. You will not be disappointed. Dan"

"Called action plumbing when my water heater started leaking in my house. They got someone out to my house within a couple hours to find out what was wrong. Jeremy was very nice and explained to me that the unit was so old we would need to replace it. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast he was able to get it replaced as I was worried we would be without hot water for a while. The customer service was phenomenal and the whole process was super smooth. Action plumbing took my urgency seriously and was happy to help."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

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.

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.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
