"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."

I couldn't believe how nice and fun his crew was they had my driveway installed in no time, actually a day early! I have no doubt its going to last for years to come. I would recommend these guys to anyone who needs an excavator!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
