"Courtyard style home that had a rain water back up by front doors. Bruce took up pavers, installed a catch basin and then a 4" pipe under front doors to an other catch basin, put pavers back and fixed front door. Was very happy with the job."

The work was done efficiently, the site was left clean, and the results were exactly what I hoped for. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again or recommend him to anyone needing excavation work."

"I am thrilled to have made the choice to work with them. I was actually a little concerned because their price was pretty aggressive. But they delivered multiple old growth hard wood trees. Great job. Very personable. Great communication. Will hire them to do some landscaping as well."

Customers say: True professional

"Henry was quick to respond, quick and fair to bid, came early and finished early! We are so thrilled how quick and professional they were and our yard went from sand and weeds to luscious green grass in less than a day! He even helped repair the sprinklers to protect our investment. Thank you, we definitely recommend Mexico & Guatemala Landscaping to our friends and neighbors. I would love to ad before and after photos, but unfortunately, it says the files too large and can’t be uploaded and I don’t know how to reduce the file size so no pictures for you."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

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.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

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. 

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
