We pride ourselves on in the work we do for our customer\nClean Fence rows\nClear trees and shrubs on farms\nDo odd jobs with Excavator/Skid Loader\nBuild roadways\nDig footings\nDig basements\nHelped contractor with sports complex putting in drainage

1 of 4 driveways crossing deep creek
Start of extending pond and reshaping pond
Cleared about 4000' of trees and shrubs and old fence line
Culvert put in 4 and 4 new driveways . Reshaped the creek so if there is a flood it does not take out driveway and worked out great
About 350 dump truck loads hauled out and filled a large revine for customer. We leveled out revine and seeded down so they could build a large dog fence for dogs to run.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

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.
