"The company showed up on time, they were reasonably price and did a remarkable job of getting rid of all the weeds, planting trees, transplanting cactus, making recommendations for other things we can do and will be coming back on the 4th July holiday to do that part for me. Which is I'd say is going above and beyond, especially in this sweltering hot weather."

"B&T Land Development exceeded my expectations for the work I had asked them to do. They arrived early, were very professional, knowledgeable and did great work! I had them remove some trees and bushes on my property. They removed everything and raked the land back over to make it look nice. They were careful with their machine and never messed up my sod in the yard. 10/10 would highly recommend this company."

Small jobs welcome

"I'll start with the positive points: Anthony pulled the permit as promised, even taking the county-required encroachment form to the correct location at the Broward County Courthouse. He started the job when promised, and at my request saved the sod that was dug up so I could move it to the back yard. He held to the contract, charging exactly the amount in it, no more, no less. However, the job, which Anthony initially told me would take a maximum of 2 weeks, took a month to the day to complete. Anthony wanted to start the job 2 days after a major flooding event in my city, during which my entire property had been under water for about 24 hours. I expressed concern about this, but Anthony insisted it would not be a problem. He then came out and began tearing out my old driveway. He worked approximately half the day before cutting out saying that his equipment (bobcat) couldn't get any traction in the still wet earth. The final job looks anything but professional. It has 3 or 4 different textures applied to the concrete and a pronounced change of height in the slab where the first load of concrete ended and the second began. The edges are not straight. Rather than pouring the sidewalk separately like every other contractor who did this type of work in my neighborhood, he poured the sidewalk at the same time and simply cut it out with a concrete saw. He did not remove whole sections of the sidewalk, but cut out the old sidewalk at the edges of the driveway. There are footprints all over the driveway and sidewalk where he walked on them before the concrete was set. He managed to splash concrete all over my garage door in the process. Finally, he did not manage to do the one thing that I was insistent on from the beginning: my finished driveway pools water at the end near the street. When I asked him about all these deficiencies, his answer was, "No job is perfect"."

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.
