"I had a sewer pipe issue in my front yard that had to be dug up and repaired and needed the pile of dirt the plumbing company left in my front yard graded and hydroseeded. I got online and we’re looking for landscapers and contractors in Davenport Iowa in the Quad cities and they responded right away and had a great price. Highly recommended!"

"Hired Martin Dirtworks to clear and remove trees, shrubs, and dirt from my property and bring in backfill. Was very professional and completed all phases of project on time and met budget. Very happy and recommend his services. Will be calling for future projects as prices are fair and great person to deal with."

"I hired Scott to do some mowing and weed eating at my house. I also mentioned to him that I needed my gutters cleaned as well. I was not sure if his company did this but they offered to go rent a ladder and have it done the next day. I was very impressed with how my lawn looked! He also cleaned up the mess that was left over from the weed eating and gutters! I was extremely happy with my services and will be getting a hold of him for future projects. 09/16/2019 Update: I had orignially hired scotty to do a fence rebuild after somebody had backed into it at our business. He was quick with his quote, and had the job done within 1 week We decided to have him back to fill some of our holes in our parking lot. We wanted to be a little cheaper on the filling, so we asked Scotty for his opinion and have been happy ever since. He has a great vision for what each project will look like. After having multiple issues with our last snow removal contract we contracted Scott to come and take over. We have not had any issues with that either. He always has the snow removed by the time our business opens. Have not had any issues with him yet."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
