"I just purchased a home that had a canal that runs straight through my property. In order to get to the other side I needed a culvert put it in. I found Travis online and he was responsive and straight forward. Communication was excellent and he did extra things for me such as deliver gravel for me because I had asked him about it. Such a great guy! Would definitely hire him again! And price was fair! Thanks Travis!"

"These guys were fantastic, from when Mark first came out to meet with me till even after the job was done and paid for. They did it all, excavating, large retaining walls, sprinklers, sod, concrete, hooking up an old waterfall, fences and a very custom gate. Very easy to work with, all my neighbors complement the yard. I went from the worst yard in the neighborhood to what I believe to be the nicest but I m a little biased. I told Mark what I wanted and he gave me some options on what I could do, I couldn t be happier with the job."

"I recently hired this landscaping team for minor grading and resloping work, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to assess the drainage issues on my property and clearly explained how regrading and adjusting the slope would help prevent water pooling. The work was completed efficiently, and the difference is night and day—no more standing water, and the yard looks clean, level, and well-finished. What really stood out was their attention to detail and pride in their work. They made sure everything was properly sloped, compacted, and blended seamlessly with the rest of the landscape. They also left the area spotless when they were done. If you need grading, resloping, or general landscaping work, I highly recommend this team. Honest, reliable, and top-quality results all around"

"If you want to hire a company that will communicate with you, show up and work very hard to make your dreams come true, hire Jaime Hernandez of Maranata Landscaping Inc. Jaime and his crew did a top notch job in renovating our backyard. Our backyard is huge. It needed a total gut job and what we wanted and received was a beautiful and gorgeous drought tolerant backyard! Jaime has a keen eye when it comes to laying out the backyard with drought tolerant plants, bender board, pebbles, slate, river rock and bark plus the added benefit of Jaime asking us if we wanted certain things that we hadn't even thought about like accent lighting in our backyard. Yes, we do! I can't sing enough praises about Jaime and his crew! They were so easy to work with, so very trustworthy, always cleaned up after themselves, and I could go on and on. If you hire them, trust me, you will not be sorry. I am a very satisfied customer."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.
