"Arthur and one othe person did a great job. They worked hard and quickly to clear all the weeds and trim the large bushes. They then cleaned up everything really well. I'm really pleased with the work they did and would definitely hire them again."

"I can’t say enough great things about Higuera Excavation and Grading! During the last big storm here in the Monterey area, we suddenly discovered a serious leak around our door. Water was pouring in, and we were honestly panicking about the potential damage and cost. I called my friend Gary Higuera, and he showed up at a moment’s notice — while the storm was still going on! Gary jumped right in, quickly diagnosed the issue, and fixed the problem before it turned into a much bigger (and much more expensive) disaster. His pricing absolutely could not be beat. Thanks to his quick response and expertise, he literally saved us thousands of dollars in potential repairs. It’s rare to find someone who is not only skilled and professional but also genuinely cares about helping people when they need it most. We are so incredibly grateful for his help and highly recommend Higuera Excavation and Grading to anyone in the Monterey area. Thank you, Gary — you’re a lifesaver!"

Small jobs welcome

"ECO-Concepts was excellent. I started with one idea in mind, although Jed had many great suggestions and my landscaping came out beautiful. They came every day until the job was finished, therefore finished it quickly and on-time. The crew was very efficient, respectful, friendly, and helpful. I would not hesitate to hire them again."

"I was very impressed with the quality of work that was done. Mr. Blanco has a style of professionalism that is all his own...I was in need of a bathroom remodeling, and was referred to RB. On time , had no problems throughout the job, from changing out all fixtures to replacing tub and shower, and sink. A complete revamp done to my bathroom! would definitely recommend RB to anyone who is looking for someone that knows how to do a job right. I'll even go as far as giving an extra star ... that's how satisfied I am with the work that was done. Thank you once again RB !"

"BG Construction was a pleasure to work with. Price was very fair for the work performed and the owner was very flexible on changes during the project. Great customer service and he showed up everyday at the time he said he would be here. I would recommend BG if you need any home improvement project that requires land clearing or digging. Hy"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.
