"Highly recommend! did an excellent job on my property. Professional, reliable, and clearly knows what he’s doing. 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

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
