"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."

"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."

"Our community used ALCC Corp for a few roof leaks prior to the storm on July 14, 2024. The community sustained severe damage to 2 residentials buildings when four 70ft pine trees fell on the structures. ALCC Corp came through when our own roofing company would not tarp the roofs. They ended up doing the removal of the stumps, and broken concrete, and shored up the buildings. When it came time to hiring a contractor, our choice was ALLC Corp. The buildings are back to their original design!! You would not know anything happened other than the trees are gone. Victor Bellavia was our main contact person and was out every day during the repairs. We could not have asked for a better company to partner with and would recommend using them."

"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 questions, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.
