"Gallagher Grading did an excellent job removing 60 tons of landslide debris in two days. All excavation to dig out retaining walls, stairway, a garage and scraping and cleaning mud off my driveway was done with utmost care and no damage was incurred. Edward and his men were professional, prompt, quiet, well-mannered, and responsible. High work ethic coupled with very competitive and transparent pricing makes this company not to miss. No hidden charges, no price inflation. Job was run smoothly and efficiently and all precautions were made, taking the size of the 10 ton load trucks, not to disturb my neighbors here in Bel Air. For all excavation and grading services, I would highly recommend Gallagher Grading."

I will come with a trailer and clean up trash piles from construction demo. I know professional companies charge an arm and a leg I am my own person I can charge less. I take all of the trash to the garbage dump.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.
