"Jen2 Excavating is an exceptional company in multiple ways. Yes, Marcus Garcia and his Jen2 team are prompt, polite, hardworking, from start to finish and estimate and price the work accurately and fairly. There is more to the story. We attempted to contact eight Pueblo and Pueblo West Companies to clear the tall grass, weeds, and brush that was rapidly overtaking our desert landscaped property. We sent them all a brief standardized description of the work and the land areas involved. Jen2 alone, responded immediately, came out the same day to estimate the work, and a week later our acre size yard was restored and cleared, and we were delighted with the work done. The other service companies contacted either failed to respond altogether or sent prefabricated emails and text messages within the time it took Jen2 to finish the work. So, start by contacting Jen2 if you have tall grass, weeds, and brush removal job, and avoid the disinterested candidates."

"Being a retired plumber, I always snaked out our sewer main myself. Unfortunately I ruptured my lower three lumbar discs several years ago, and can no longer perform this task. I have an older home with clay a sewer line going from my house to the street, and with a large tree in the yard I need to have someone auger out the line at the very least every 18 months to clear out the tree roots that get into the hubs (connections). I wasn't sure who to call because my drain cleaner for several years retired. So I decided to check Home Advisor, I started reading the reviews for Superior Drain & Jetting. It was around 10:30pm on Sunday night, Robert called me at 10:45pm & scheduled a time for the next morning. Robert did an excellent job, was very friendly & professional. He showed up on time, took care of the plugged sewer main, and ran the snake back and fourth a few extra times to make sure that there would be no problems in the near future. I will be hiring Robert to come back to Hydro-Jet the main to further clean, & rinse the main from any dirt, sludge, etc. that remains in the sewer, So I can rest easier knowing that I shouldn't go downstairs to find a backup. I wanted to add one more thing, and that is there are a few crooked Drain cleaners in town that will tell their customers they have a crack, break, or collapse in their main, and that it needs to be excavated and repaired with PVC, which will cost several thousands of dollars. Robert did not try to pull that nonsense with me, and I appreciate his honesty, it is very much like an Auto Mechanic telling their customers that they need to repair/replace something on their car that doesn't need it."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
