"AGD did a fantastic job on our paver walkway. We have a newer construction home that had a concrete walkway and a very odd shaped driveway that makes it unusable for parking two cars. I called AGD to get a quote to tear out the concrete walkway, install pavers, and put pavera down next to our driveway to make it usable for two cars. Several other contractors said the job was "too small", and wouldn't even coke look at it. Not AGD... Kameron was very knowledgeable, friendly and more than helpful. They did a great job that we are very happy with, and have gotten many compliments on it already. They are very busy, so you may have to wait a few weeks for them to start the job, but that just means they do great work and are in high demand. Would highly recommend."

"The gentleman was on time and very professional. During the quote, he stated the job would be approximately $900.00 to remove and preserve the metal fence. I believed that to be a reasonable price. However, after receiving a quote for $1800.00 which is double the price, and the cost of a new fence is approximately $1300.00 I decided to go elsewhere and replace the fence."

"I had the pleasure of working with John Dickie Construction for a remodel of both my kitchen and master bathroom, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, John and his team were professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. The quality of workmanship was exceptional, and they exceeded my expectations in every way. They listened to my ideas, offered valuable suggestions, and delivered on time. The kitchen and bathroom turned out even better than I imagined, blending modern functionality with stunning design. If you’re looking for a contractor who delivers top-notch craftsmanship with excellent customer service, I highly recommend John Dickie Construction. I’ll definitely be reaching out for future projects!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

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.

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.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.
