"I hired Rod Ballou Jr. Creative Landscapes to help me with my my property. I want to sincerely thank Rod for taking the time to listen to me after my very upsetting experience with Homemate Handyman and Justin Saetern at my property. Rod and I had a very detailed conversation about my vision for a butterfly sanctuary in honor of my beloved grandson, Jaxson , who passed away on August 31, 2019. This project means so much to me, and I wanted to create something beautiful and meaningful in his memory. I am beyond words to express how happy I am with Rod’s work. He truly puts his heart and soul into what he does, and that dedication shows in the results. It means so much to have someone who listens, understands your vision, and genuinely cares about bringing it to life. I am incredibly grateful to Rod and would highly recommend him for any future landscaping projects at my home. Thank you, Rod, for helping me create something so special in honor of Jaxson . ❤️🦋"

"Really easy to communicate with. Was able to come give an estimate and schedule work right away, which is amazing bc majority of the local excavation companies are being contracted to work the wildfires. He was helpful with decision-making and did extra things outside the scope of job expectation. Will definitely use this company again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.
