"What great brothers and absolutely the best at what they do! They cut trees down, cleared under brush, made a steep slope not so steep, planted grass, pulled some bushes up. Graded around a 60x40 concrete pad and leveled it until it was even and then put gravel around the entire pad. We both are loving the way everything looks and turned out! Thank you Zack and Patrick! We will definitely use your company again!"

"Brandon, Scott and crew did an absolutely great job on my project. I had them remove stumps, level and grade for a garage. They were great to work with, kept me informed and finished up on time. They were knowledgeable, professional and honest. I heartily recommend them for your dirtwork. Will call upon them again before starting any other dirt work."

"TCQ Paving did a phenomenal job in taking care of our recent paving project. This project involved adjusting the grade on a very mismanaged road and paving it. It also involved paving two new construction driveways. TCQ Paving arrived on time and completed the work in the amount of time that they had told us. The finish was phenomenal and the level of customer service and quality of work were top-notch. Because of their quality of work we used them on another new construction driveway and the same level of quality was shown on this project as well."

"The retaining wall looks great and all my neighbors agree. We were not home during the 4 day project but were kept abreast of the installation. Our neighbors said it looked like a bomb went off with the tearing out of old wall, the materials, the equipment etc but after 4 days you'd never know they were even there except we had a beautiful new wall. They went above and beyond ensuring the surrounding area looked fantastic. Would highly recommend them for their quality work."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

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.
