"The Western Slope Cleaning Service responded immediately, way before any other business replied to my request for tree removal and carport repair. Lorenzo and George arrived to my property the same day, provided a reasonable estimate before departing. Sent me a written estimate in under 30 minutes, which I approved. Lorenzo and his crew began the next day, despite having to battle chilly and rainy weather. They stuck it out and finished removing two large trees, pressure washed two metal carports, sealed one carport and removed two gate posts for me. The crew did an excellent job cleaning up the site. They were all very polite, cordial and very professional. I will continue to utilize WSCS for a large list of projects needed on my property. Thank you Lorenzo, great job!"

"I hired B & S Excavation, in order to do a few jobs around my farm. Iâ  m trying to subdivide my place, and I needed to find someone who could bring a new water line into the property, and then separate the house and barn water. First job: Excavate a 1,540 ft trench, in order to bring a new water line in for my barn building. Then, connect the new line to the house, leaving the old line for the barn. Second job: Excavate another large ditch, in order to change some water line piping for the existing water well lines. Third job: Repairing a 12â  underground irrigation transmission line that had previously been damaged when the Elevate internet service was installed. Overall, I found Brandon and his team extremely easy to work with on my jobs. He took time to consult with me on every step of the way. If he was unclear on an issue, heâ  d drop everything in order to discuss things with me. Excavation work was done on a timely basis, although the weather interrupted the job at times. The team worked through some really bad weather days, which speaks to me of their dedication to their job. I was extremely impressed about Brandonâ  s ability to clean up the areas on my place that had been excavated. His skid steer work was excellent! You could hardly tell where he had worked, by the time he was done. Brandon did a fantastic job of communicating with me on the phone, especially when we were first discussing the job. He made sure to keep me in the loop, especially if he couldnâ  t make it out to my place for one reason or another. Good communication is key for me, and Brandonâ  s company always excelled in this area. The invoice totals I was charged for in this job were more than fair! Brandon and his team did many extras on the job, which werenâ  t always reflected on my bill. Since my funds were somewhat limited, I was really happy that he worked to give me a fair bill for the work heâ  d done. Overall, I cannot express how fully my expectations were met and exceeded by B & S Excavation! Wonderful people to work with! Professional, dedicated, and they really stand behind the work that they do. I will definitely hire them again, if I need excavation jobs done on my place in the future!"

"Would recommend Grover excavating for any of your excavating needs. Pete was very prompt and professional. Took out a large tree from my back yard. Removing the stump was a challenge that he met very well. There was minimal disruption to the rest of my yard. I will hire him for any future needs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

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.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.
