"Adam and his crew were amazing. They cleaned out the junk filled basement of the old house we just moved into. Prompt, friendly, professional setvice and a great value for the money. We also hired them again, to remove brush and overgrown shrubbery from the property a week later. Highly reccomend."

"Jeremy and I are birthday friends now! We designed a plan to accomplish a budget friendly overgrowth maintenance yard project that accommodated both of us. He and his crew were empathetic to my current situation and passing of my brother. Also, that no other companies either never called or did not show. Jeremy and Tom & the crew were diligent, hardworking, motivated, and committed to detail. A few incidents with lighting I did not know I had to point out was quickly rectified. I already have plans to have Woodland Solutions maintain my property because of my satisfaction with them snd their overall work ethic. Budget friendly and very compassionate people. I highly recommend them!"

"Easland did a great job from start to finish. We met with David, who evaluated the project and provided a quote that, in my mind, was fair and within the range that I expected. He clearly knows his business and he got his equipment in, got the job done, got his equipment out all without creating a mess to clean up! Kathy did the paperwork and dealt with the Town. She was excellent at letting me know about inspections, approvals and time frames. The skilled equipment operator, Tyler, demolished our cottage, that at some places was less than 6' from our neighbor, without anything hitting that house. We could not have been happier and highly recommend Easland!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

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.

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.
