"Mark and the team did an outstanding job. Our drainage was a mess in several places. They methodically identified and cleared out each spot, replacing pipes and digging new trenches. They were very careful with our landscaping, making sure no plants were damaged in the process. They were respectful of our property and cleaned everything up before they concluded the job. I would definitely recommend them."

"We were having trouble with the water intake on a waterfall/pond in our backyard. Dave was out quickly, assessed the problem, and did the maintenance. It is once again functioning well. On the way out, talked to him about concerns with a water feature in the courtyard. He recommended a fix at a competitive rate... and we already have him scheduled to come back and do the work on that water feature. Could not be happier with the results so far!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
