"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!"

"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."

"GreenLine Landscaping & Services LLC did a phenomenal job with the front of my home. They were quick, clean and very considerate. Not only did they bring my vision to life but also contributed to it with suggestions. Some of which were gravel/rock types, along with the plants to make everything stand out. I highly recommend their work. Attached below is an image of the work they did. GreenLine Landscape & Services LLC also took their time to explain the maintenance and cleanup procedures. I will definitely be hiring them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

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.
