"After Hurricane Helene, our backyard was completely destroyed—grass wiped out, ground shifted, and constant flooding every time it rained. We spoke with multiple contractors, but none came close to the professionalism, clarity, and responsiveness we received from Leslie Monroy and the team at Englewood Hardscaping, LLC. Leslie proposed a smart and effective drainage and grading solution at a very fair price and was able to schedule the work quickly. Within days, the crew was on-site, and they completely transformed our backyard. Their work was not only high-quality and efficient, but their communication was excellent from start to finish. Englewood Hardscaping consistently went above and beyond our expectations. Of all the contractors we’ve had to work with in the aftermath of the hurricane, none have been as professional, reliable, or pleasant as this team. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and can’t recommend them highly enough."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

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. 

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
