"Pedro Gomes and his crew: Alan and Gabriel were excellent. Excavated an area 25x15ft by 3 inch and installed playground mulch. Done in 3 hrs. They had to use shovel and wheel barrel since big excavator would not fit through backyard gate. Than wheel barrel all the 4?yards of mulch in to fill the area. Price was fair in my opinion for this hard hands on labor. I will definitely hire this crew again if I have another project"

"Very smooth experience. The shingles and dumpster arrived before the crew. They came in the morning and finished the job by dark. A larger house would probably take more time. The next day the dumpster was removed and the county passed the inspection."

"I don't as a rule post to review sites as there maybe extenuating circumstances as to why something may have happened. But in this case I am so happy with East Coast Land I want to let you know that this is a great company. Simply put, the do what they say they are going to do. Without any intervention from me. I am so impressed with the response and work ethic. They went far beyond what I had expected. I had to do nothing. They did it all. I will tell you honestly that this company is the gold standard that other contractors should aspire to be. I will not hesitate to use them again for any work that they can do for me."

I was so impressed with his communication and how quickly he was able to compete the job. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for excavation services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

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.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
