"My yard had a serious flooding issue. I hired Solution Landworks and I am very pleased with the experience. They were professional and very nice. They listened to what I needed and answered my questions and were communicative. They took their time with me and were patient with my concerns. They did what they said they were going to do and even a little more. And they did quality work. Very happy!"

"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."

"James was incredible. I needed irrigation ran approximately 200 yards and had no idea where to start. He was able to give me a quote in a day and start working almost immediately. 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."

"I had a serious flooding problem on my land in Geneva, Fl. The service was excellent. They were on time, prepared the work and got done in a timely manner. They even took extra time at the end to explain what drainage adjustments they made so water wouldn't come near my house during heavy rainstorms. Honestly, it felt like they treated this project as if it were their own property. Highly recommend."

"I had the pleasure to do bussiness with Cook: he is honest, respectful who did what is needed to be done in an very reasonable price. Cook is realist, with a practical approach. He is a professional on his field; due to his performance gained our trust and became our friend. On the pictures you will see during the process and the final product of his job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.
