Here at Final Aspect we specialize in concrete flat work, driveways, RV Pad‘s, shop floors, parking areas, new or removal and replacement, along with some commercial work. I own and operate the business myself. I am a second generation concrete mason and my sons are third generation. Homeowners need honesty, quality, and clean reliability. We give you that, which is rare in the concrete trade. I have been doing best quality work for 21 years. I worked as a foreman for large contractors, traveling all my life. In 2016 I decided to settle down in Pocatello and start my own business doing what I like to do best, residential flatwork. I am always my own toughest customer to please. Does concrete always crack? Although it is very difficult to predict, cracks can be greatly avoided and almost eliminated by proper trade practices such as making sure the soil underneath the concrete is well compacted and very flat. Another major factor in preventing unwanted cracks is ensuring sufficient jointing or control cuts.

"Jerry and his son did a great job. They were timely to show up and quote and start working. We had a significant amount of work to be done and they had it done in less than 2 weeks. They were attentive to detail and when we’d have concerns they’d address them. I couldn’t be happier with the job that was done. This small family ran business does quality work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

The average cost of excavation is around $3,200. Most jobs fall somewhere between $500 and $15,000, depending on the amount of soil to remove, whether or not there are landscaping features or structures in the vicinity that could complicate the excavation, and the quality and contents of the soil. Larger jobs will naturally cost more, as will those in tight spaces that demand manual excavation as opposed to using heavy machinery. Hard soil and tree roots can also extend the job and drive up your labor costs.

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.

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