"I couldn't be happier with the concrete work that was done in my backyard. From start to finish, the team was quick, professional, and incredibly efficient. They showed up on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and completed the project faster than I expected without sacrificing quality. What impressed me most was how they went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. They paid attention to the details, kept the work area clean, and made sure I was completely satisfied with the final result. The finished concrete looks fantastic and has completely transformed my backyard. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality concrete work. Excellent service, great workmanship, and a team that truly cares about their customers!"

"I am thrilled with the job Aces Concrete Inc.did at my home today. Rich gave me an estimate quickly and started the job in 2days. He removed the concrete around 2 fence posts. He arrived when he said he would, completely remove all of the concrete and left the area clean. I would highly recommend contacting Aces Concrete for any Grading, Hauling and Concrete Removal jobs that you might have."

"Paul is a reliable contractor with a good crew. They came on time and seal-coated my driveway with great care for details. Excellent communications and none of the corner-cutting I saw from other less-professional contractors. I highly recommend Paul and his Pacific West Asphalt."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
