"Trey is very professional and skilled. It was amazing how he brought down the old structure and removed the pieces with such precision. Just like watching one of those HGN shows! Left site cleaned up and leveled the area. Beautiful. I would definately hire him again."

From first contact on this was a very positive experience. Not only was John very prompt in contacting me, but he was able to accommodate my scheduling request. John also provided very reasonable estimates compared to three other companies. The crew showed up on time, set up quickly, confirmed the plan, were pleasant with the neighbors and worked very hard despite the extreme heat. The retaining wall, walk and two flights of stairs were completed within the week. John came to ensure that it was satisfactory when completed. The company is professional, efficient and hard working. They did their best to accommodate my requests and to make sure the results would be safe, lasting and attractive. Would strongly recommend to others.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.
