"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."

"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

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
