"The owner, Jessen Williams, is a professional in his field and strives to provide the best service in a timely and affordable manner. His crew are the hardest working men and once they have finished the project they leave the property in superb condition. I have used another company many times and they donâ t even come close to the quality of work provided by American Tree Solutions. I should also mention that the pricing is more than fair and once your project is completed you will be so pleased that you will use American Tree Solutions in the future."

"I talked with several providers from Angi before deciding on JLs Turf Management. From removal of the old landscape through installation of the new plants everything went very smoothly. They were very easy to work with and made adjustments as I made changes during the process. Very satisfied with the results."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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. 

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
