"Efficient and dedicated to doing the job correctly. It started to rain, so he had to come back to finish the caulking and made sure it would dry correctly and not run as it had because of the rain."

"Kessler Inc did a high quality job on removing an old cement wall, replacing it with a beautiful dry stack stone wall including elegant solid stone steps. We have had numerous compliments from friends and neighbors on what a wonderful job they did. The excavation to grade our yard, remove the old wall, and build the new wall required a skilled crew and several days of hard work! Thank you Levi and crew for your professional attention to detail to create our beautiful back yard. We're looking forward to our next project with them!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Justin did an outstanding job on our project. They replaced sprinkler heads, removed old mulch and installed rock, improved our drainage, trimmed trees and bushes, and poured a new concrete walkway. From start to finish, Justin was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He communicated well, showed up when promised, and paid attention to the details. The quality of the work really stands out, and it’s clear he takes pride in doing things the right way. Our yard not only looks significantly better but functions better thanks to the drainage and irrigation improvements. It’s hard to find contractors who are reliable, honest, and deliver on their promises, but Justin exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend him for any landscaping, irrigation, drainage, concrete, or outdoor improvement project. We’ll definitely be using 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."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

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.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
