"Eric was able to competitively quote and execute a significant improvement to our property in Larkspur by excavating a new parking area as well as installing a stunning retaining wall to mitigate erosion that would have caused the loss of mature pine trees. He also relocated all the dirt to other areas of our property to encourage proper flow of rain and snow melt away from our home. Every step of the project was executed perfectly, on time, with excellent communication and its completion not only served the purpose we needed but it has greatly improved the aesthetic and value of our property. I don't remember the last time we've worked with someone on a home project that has been this impressive."

"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."

"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."

"These guys repaired my wooden fence from the January windstorm. Dug out and replaced 7 posts and reattached 10 - 8' sections. They showed up and worked through a January snow to get it done fast. Good price too."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.
