Kevin went above and beyond and Delivered high quality work. My husband and I will definitely be using him again for some of our future projects that we plan to undertake. He is an extremely respectful and great guy to work with. he helped us assemble a good amount of patio furniture including two fire pit tables and he will be back for some other projects. I could not recommend him more, if I can give more than a 5 star I would!"

"I had a great experience working with this company and especially with Melissa. I needed a large hole in my backyard filled in, and Melissa made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was extremely responsive, answered all my questions quickly, and coordinated everything perfectly. The dirt delivery was right on time, and the work was done exactly as promised. If I need any help in the future, I’ll definitely be reaching out to Melissa again—she's fantastic to work with!"

"We had a future building site cleared and leveled out by G & H Tractor. We found Justin Gillman to be honest, trustworthy and dependable. After the home was built, we called him back for topsoil delivery and distribution for landscaping and drainage purposes. We really liked the follow through that he provided. He would occasionally check in with us to see if anything had settled or if we need any new material brought in. He did not charge us for these check ups. He wanted to make sure that we were totally satisfied, which we were!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.
