"This was a hard removal. It was a cement surface over my concrete pool deck. It had to be removed with an industrial size grinder that looked like a big floor polisher. The work was dirty and dusty but at the end of the day and throughout the job, it was being continuously cleaned and dry vacuumed. Every evening (it took 5 days) the completed areas had been cleaned and left neatly. They moved my furniture, my plants, everything and then returned it. Hire them. They are already hired for another project. Highly recommend without hesitation."

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.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

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.
