"AP Excavating installed a drinking post for our horses and replaced a water hydrant. Wonderful father and sons family business - great to work with them and their crew. I was impressed with the quality of work and their commitment to making sure they exceeded our expectations. I will be using them for our next projects: entry gate, trenching work and landscaping driveway island. Thank you AP Excavating!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Rich and his crew, who transformed my outdoor space over the course of two weeks. They created a beautiful patio, fixed my sprinkler system, repaired the edging, and added rock to enhance the landscape. Rich’s attention to detail was evident when he identified that my French drain needed replacement and suggested sealing my back patio. His expertise and proactive approach made a significant difference in the quality and longevity of the work. I highly recommend Rich and his crew for any landscaping needs. Their professionalism, skill, and dedication to their craft are truly commendable."

Customers say: Quality work

"Cruz and his family were great to work with from day one and they did much more than landscaping. The property was a mess before I hired Cruz but now it's amazing. They graded and landscaped both the front and backyard, installed an irrigation system, and put in back and side patios. When the fence company couldn't install one in a timely manner to align with the landscaping, Cruz offered to put up the fence and price match. The work performed was very high quality. Even after the job was complete Cruz has been responsive to all questions and any help I've needed. I would recommended Cruz to anyone needing landscaping."

"Larry and his crew performed shoreline stabilization and erosion control services on the lake where we live. They also cleaned up the shoreline and installed special geotextile fabric before installing over 2 tons of riprap. The crew did an amazing job and finished way ahead of schedule. I am recommending this company to other neighbors and will happily use them for future work. I’ve attached before and after photos."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
