"Austin and his crew were a joy to work with; very personable and professional in every possible way. They did an excellent job with both the tree removal of a large River Birch and stump grinding of it, as well ans another large Ash tree that was previously cut down. They also did a wonderful job with our excavation project for pouring a sidewalk alongside our garage. Overall a 10++ rating!"

"We had a challengingly steep slope at the back of our property that needed weed removal, grading , replanting, sprinkler replacement, stone retaining wall repair and fortification. Gary was a knowledgeable problem solver and worked alongside his crew to make sure everything was done properly. He said what they would do and they did what they said! I highly recommend the company. Lani P. Hidden Springs, Id"

"I need urgent leaf removal before the snow started falling and called past 4pm on Wednesday and he showed up to get rid of my leaves by 9am on Thursday! I was worried about cost so when we reached the time cap, he left extra bags so I could finish the bit at the end and stay within my budget. Thanks so much for being available so fast and saving me so much trouble!"

"After getting several estimates, I asked Brett to come over to provide an in-person estimate. He sent a very reasonable estimate that included demolition and haul-away of some cement work in my backyard. He also asked if I wanted to add 2 yards (give or take) of large granite rocks along my fence line that I've been wanting to dispose of and be hauled away, for a small additional cost. He showed up on time and made quick work of the cement walkway and the fire pit area, as well as the granite rocks. Brett is a friendly, professional, and he has the skills, knowledge, and the right equipment to get the job done in a timely fashion. He cleaned up whatever mess there was, and it looks great for the next phase of my backyard renovation. I would highly recommend him and his company for any demolition needs. Here are the before and after photo's."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.
