"Over the years, Josh has done multiple sodding projects for me and my wife. Because he has always done an exceptional job at sodding, we decided to give him a go at installing a retaining wall to create a raised garden. Again, they did a fantastic job at that project and we asked Josh to remove and replace a broken slab at the rear of our house. Tyler, an exceptional foreman, along with James and Austin, two incredibly talented and conscientious men, removed the old slab, cleaned and prepped the area and installed a new slab (including rebar - a forgotten and important piece of any concrete work, especially in an area such as Iowa,) as well as a stone border of a backyard garden, all virtually within 2 days. When they left, they had groomed the entire area, seeded the exposed areas, assisted my wife with adding and leveling dirt, removed all their trash-and mine as well. Great job, and thank you, Austin, James, Tyler and Josh."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
