"Hired Marco Construction to repair our warping deck that all other companies wanted to rip down. They fixed the warp, installed railing and an animal barrier. Good communication and workers were very respectful throughout the process and they completed it quick!"

"My barns used to flood badly whenever it rained, but since Eco contractings re-grading, there is no more flooding! I am very happy with their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of grading work. Michael was professional and returned my call immediately and addressed any concerns I had about the project. The price was very reasonable for the work they did and I could not be happier."

"Hired them to do some manual excavation in my backyard. It was one of those small jobs that itâ s tough to find someone to do for you. Small perhaps for them, but huge for us. From the first phone call to the end of the job, customer service and communication was outstanding. As far as the work, they did a fantastic job - hauled away the excess dirt and cleaned the site. Highly recommend them, and I will certainly use them again for any future needs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.
