"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

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. 

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.
