"ECO-Concepts was excellent. I started with one idea in mind, although Jed had many great suggestions and my landscaping came out beautiful. They came every day until the job was finished, therefore finished it quickly and on-time. The crew was very efficient, respectful, friendly, and helpful. I would not hesitate to hire them again."

"Justin landscaped my entire property: front, back, and side yards after my home was destroyed in the CARR fire. He installed pavers in the front driveway and porch area as well as throughout the backyard (patio and walkways) These have LED lights to light up the walkways. He installed a most beautiful large pond with fountain. Put in sprinkler system, fence, and planter boxes. The yard is exactly what I asked for. Beautiful trees, flowers, shrubs, grass, retaining walls. It is my own little piece of paradise. I could not have asked for a better result. He is kind and professional, with a good work ethic. I highly recommend Justin."

"Frank and his crew were great! They did a great big working with our neighbors and myself. Demoing a large fence between our homes. The end result was incredible. I was so happy with the yard after the removal of everything. It was better than how they found it. Just what we asked for. I would recommend Elements to any family, friend or neighbor. Already have had several people comment on what a beautiful fence we put in!! Made some great suggestions for other projects too. He'll be back to do!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.
