"Ike was great from start to finish. He came quickly to give an estimate and started promptly. He did a great job at everything the job required. He finished on time and cleaned up well. The job was complex and he triple checked each item to ensure it was exactly what we wanted. Several things were more difficult than expected but he still got it done on time. He excavated, created and graded a 100+ft ledge perfectly. I would recommend Isaac Nathaniel to anyone."

"Giovani and Dell of Ultra Construction were great to work with and they responded quickly and efficiently to our contractor inquiry. They came out the next day and provided a fair and reasonable estimate. Dell and his crew, including Julian came out and had the concrete walkway and stairs installed in just one day. It looks great and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Their prep work and cleanup were outstanding. Would highly recommend this company for any concrete construction work"

"When we purchased the house, it was a 30 year old home. Almost everybody in the period of five years to seven years wanted to convert to copper plumbing. So what they offered at that time was anyone you referred to if they chose to use their service, you have $500 cash payment which was really nice because half of our neighbors and our family members used them. I do not know what they do now, but it is a really nice service because they are a very good company. They did a great job."

"Miguel completely re-configured our plumbing under the house a few years ago and we have never had issues again. He diagnosed the issue accurately and was able to complete the job quickly and at the highest level of quality. His knowledge of virtually all mechanical and structural aspects of renovation/repair are second to none. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone and with highest confidence."

"Alfredo contacted me very quickly and I explained our issue. He agreed to come by the same day. He assessed the problem and gave me a detailed explanation of the issue and how to fix it. This included advising me that the repair could be problematic since the pipe was galvanized steel. I appreciated his approach to keep the repair simple and to address any issues as they came up. His estimate was very reasonable and the repair was successful. There was a small leak that started on a separate section which Alfredo came back and fixed as part of the original bid price. He was efficient and responded to all of my questions. That was very much appreciated!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
