"This company did a great job with my backyard. They listened to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and paid attention to the details. The crew was on time, kept everything clean, and the final result looks exactly how I visualized it."

"I had a concrete planter that was full of soil that I needed removed from my property. All County Excavation & Turf was perfect for this job; they arrived precisely at the appointed time and went right to work. They had all the machinery and expertise needed to get the job done quickly and efficiently; they hauled the construction debris and excess topsoil away, graded the space for me to match the existing slope - and cleaned up afterwards! The price was right too - I got more than what I paid for, in my opinion. Plus, Jeff, Edgar and the team were very professional, nice and customer-service friendly, which is always a plus. I would most certainly recommend All County Excavation & Turf to my friends and family, or anyone in need of excavation services."

"Paul and his team are amazing. They did the work timely and professionally. And when something hidden from view was discovered, they explained what was unexpectedly found, provided us with information and options and then just handled it without missing a beat or taking longer to complete the job. I can’t think of anyone else I would trust with any work at my house - from the smallest job to a whole house renovation. I referred a friend in Southwest Ranches whose prior contractor created a massive nightmare and ignored the plans. Paul and his Prestige crew went in and turned their nightmare into their dream home. If you want it done correctly, on budget and on time, call Paul and Prestige!"

"Casper concrete did an amazing job on my front driveway and my front porch. The value of my property went up significantly. Due to the addition of my new beautiful driveway. They came in on time and finished it on time. Never had any problems with this company or its workers. I am very pleased with thier hard work. I would recommend Casper concrete to anyone in need of a new driveway or any concrete job needed done. Also their prices were very fair. ð"

Small jobs welcome

"I'll start with the positive points: Anthony pulled the permit as promised, even taking the county-required encroachment form to the correct location at the Broward County Courthouse. He started the job when promised, and at my request saved the sod that was dug up so I could move it to the back yard. He held to the contract, charging exactly the amount in it, no more, no less. However, the job, which Anthony initially told me would take a maximum of 2 weeks, took a month to the day to complete. Anthony wanted to start the job 2 days after a major flooding event in my city, during which my entire property had been under water for about 24 hours. I expressed concern about this, but Anthony insisted it would not be a problem. He then came out and began tearing out my old driveway. He worked approximately half the day before cutting out saying that his equipment (bobcat) couldn't get any traction in the still wet earth. The final job looks anything but professional. It has 3 or 4 different textures applied to the concrete and a pronounced change of height in the slab where the first load of concrete ended and the second began. The edges are not straight. Rather than pouring the sidewalk separately like every other contractor who did this type of work in my neighborhood, he poured the sidewalk at the same time and simply cut it out with a concrete saw. He did not remove whole sections of the sidewalk, but cut out the old sidewalk at the edges of the driveway. There are footprints all over the driveway and sidewalk where he walked on them before the concrete was set. He managed to splash concrete all over my garage door in the process. Finally, he did not manage to do the one thing that I was insistent on from the beginning: my finished driveway pools water at the end near the street. When I asked him about all these deficiencies, his answer was, "No job is perfect"."

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.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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.

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.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
