"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."

"We hired Jeremiah two times- the first time we called him for help with a potential water issue due to the grading around our home. He analyzed the problem, developed the solution- communicated it all clearly to us and then worked his magic. He installed a French drain and graded our property around some very technical constraints, sidewalk, existing hardscaping and giant trees. Our problem was totally fixed - more than that, he left the entire area neat and cleaned up. I've never seen a guy work so efficiently. We hired him again when our main water line went out between our well and our house. Again, he had to work his magic in a very technical area, beneath a grape arbor and existing landscaping. The plumber asked for his number because he said he had never seen such exacting work. He had the grade for the pipe just right, the depth, everything. With minimal disruption. The guy is a real gentleman. A clear communicator whose work is confirmation of his professionalism. Rare."

"I needed a set a stairs to get from my driveway to my back porch and William did an awesome job with them! It wasn't a big job but he still took the time to work with me and make sure I got what I wanted and I really appreciated that"

"Austin did an excellent job removing and hauling off a few very large old tree stumps with his excavator. He's very skilled running the equipment he brought out. We will ask him for help again in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
