"I couldn't be more happy with the work Eleven Eleven Excavating did at my home. I had grading around the house done and gravel put down for my driveway,carport and shed. The work was done sooner than expected and done well at a fair price. I would definitely use them again."

"This was the easiest and most efficient project I have ever experienced. And the end result is better than I imagined. As a home owner for over 38 years, I have had a lot of disappointment with contractors, plumbers, etc. Leon has restored my faith in the process. His estimate was fair and he completed the job less than a week after we met. He explained everything he would do and the materials needed. He also contacted me as needed. The front bed looks wonderful. Leon actually listened to and respected my ideas so I now have space to dig and plant my own flowers. Digging is no longer easy for me, but Leon tilled (??) the soil so it will easy for me to dig small holes. Leon is a reliable and responsible young man. His kindness and work ethic are admirable. I highly recommend him!!"

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.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code 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).

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.
