"Our 38 year old home had water line leakage problems that were not only reflected on our water bill but with a "pooling" puddle near the house. Another plumber came out to make a repair visit and a follow-up "problem" visit a month later that still did not stop the problem. A month later when the problem arose for a third time we went on "Angi' seeking a replacement of the line. Robert of Coles Excavating contacted me along with a number of others. His personal conversations, both helpful and informative, impressed me; also his comparatively lower bid. Coles Excavating not only did a fine job replacing the water line, (I waited 30+ days before sending in this review) but Robert's continuing information and support as things progressed was greatly appreciated. My experience with Cole's, in a stressful situation, was truly an excellent one."

"Michael graded my rural neighborhood roads as well as cleared, graded, and graveled a lot and driveway on my property. He took the time to ensure the gravel matched perfectly with our existing rock. I hired him again to excavate and install water and sewer lines for our RV parking. Michael took a consultative approach to help me meet the needs of my projects. Michael was professional, timely, and his pricing was on point. I would recommend and rehire him for all grading and excavation needs."

"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!"

"Our HOA wanted to correct some advanced erosion in our subdivision. This included, site clearing, earthwork, grading and the installation of 11 tons of rip-rap stone. I met with Josh and Lacey, discussed the scope and received a very competitive bid to do the work. They did an outstanding job, kept me up-to-date and left a very clean work-site. They are a hard-working, reliable contractor who I would hire again. Sincerely - Bill Rutherford, HOA President, Marana, AZ."

"i have gone through many yard and landscape companies over the past two years. Cherry is by far the best. They come when they say they will be coming, they work quickly yet efficiently, and they accomplish all that I ask. Junior and Jessie are a great tribute to this company. Do not hesitate to give them a try. I did and i am pleased."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

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.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
