"We had an excellent experience with Elevated Environments from start to finish. Nick listened to what we needed and kept revising as we went until we came up with the perfect plan. Communication was excellent throughout. The crew was unobtrusive and efficient. Our drainage problem is fixed and we ended up with a beautiful fire pit area. We cannot recommend this company more highly."

Customers say: Quick response

"Rebel Earthworks are consummate professionals. Walked us all the way through the process and took care of all the heavy-lifting, both figuratively and literally. They not only cleared away and graded/leveled our existing residential yard, but also totally designed and implemented an entirely new backyard for us. We are astounded at the transformation. Well, done gentlemen! And thank you for getting it done is such a quick, compressed timeline. I know it was a challenge, but you all exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend them!"

""Exceptionally well. Craftsperson Joe Puch carefully explained the repair steps and reasons for them. He did so at various points in the work progress. His work was meticulous. His manner was professional, polite and personable, right from punctual arrival to final clean-up of the work area. One of the best experiences I've ever had with a home services/repair contractor. Highly recommended.""

Even though during our project the snow and cold temperatures were a hurdle at times, they performed outstanding work with attention to detail. I highly recommend them for any turf project or landscaping project you want to pursue! We definitely will use them again in the future!"

"We have used Oakden Enterprises for a number of jobs. They are always dependable and will go out of their way to make things work. I hired them first for snow removal because of their bid being significantly lower than other bid, and have continued to use them for this but also added yard and tree trimming to the list. We have never been disappointed. Very easy to work with. I would give them more than five stars if I could."

"David, excavated old septic tank, replaced with new tank, hooked up tank to house, filled in and covered the new tank. Leveled the land, raked the area affected and applied grass seed. Clean up was great! Was always available to answer questions. We would hire him again."

"Chris was the first to get back to me, came to estimate yard cleanup- which was a substantial amount of work - within a day. He was able to communicate well and gave me a plan and schedule that worked best for us. He matched the price I had been quoted for delivery and installation of tress, shrubs and boulders - so we hired him to do that, alsoâ ¦ in a much more timely manner. Chris aims to please and we were pleased with his work, professionalism snd integrity. Highly recommend."

"The job was simple; repair 30 feet of blown down fence, but he did a great job from berginning to end. He responded quickly, was on time, worked hard and efficiently resulting in quality work. I plan to hire him again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.
