"Zach and Pat came over and graded some land for us and did a great job. They show up when they say they will be there and are very pleasant to work with. They really went above and beyond what they told us they would do and made sure we were satisfied and answered all questions and told us to call anytime we had any questions. Really top notch guys to work with! I would highly recommend them for grading. And I believe they do other things such as tree removal and probably just about anything else you need done outside on your property. I would give them 10 stars!!!!"

"When I ask for a quote at Angi for my driveway repair Back 40 & Co. was the only company that called me with a quote. Todd did an amazing job repairing my driveway. He was very professional and had all the equipment needed to get the job done right. I will hire him again for all of my grading needs. I've added some before and after pics."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.
