"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"All the jobs that Austyn has completed on our property have been phenomenal. Last year he used a couple different tractors, because even though we just have a few acres that need work, there are always several projects. He communicates well from start to finish and organizes his time efficiently. I have never seen a more skilled heavy equipment operator. We are thrilled with his work and highly recommend him."

"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!"

"He was available by phone, and was flexible in scheduling meetings which is great. He was professional, and seemed quite knowledgable. In the end, I didn't use Nato's services because his quote was twice as much as the other contractor I was considering. Perhaps his prices may be more competitive in other services he offers. Either way, working with this company was a pleasant experience."

"US Trench less was referred to me through a friend. I called US Trench less and explained the situation I had in my backyard. US Trench less came out the next day and ran the diagnostic TV scope where we were able to see how bad of shape my pipes were in. US Trench less was able to come out and start working the very next day. The entire job was done in less than 4 days which was amazing considering how quickly they began working. US Trench less was honest, very trustworthy, knowledgeable, and prompt with my situation. I would highly recommend their work!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.
