"I cannot say enough good things about this company, about Chris the owner, about the respect for the client that he has, the performance of the job, sincere dedication to every detail including all clean up..we appreciate ALL the HONEST communication AND Transparency during the whole process before, during and after. He the best man for this huge job. $7000 was alot of money- he understood BUT WE COULDN'T HAVE CHOSE ANYONE BETTER! THERE IS NO COMPANY (IN OUR OPINION) THAT WE FOUND FOR SEWER REPAIR TO BE MORE PROFESSIONAL, HIGHLY SKILLED SKILLED, HARD WORKING, VERY HONEST, EXTREMELY DEPENDABLE AND DEFINITELY MORE TRUSTWORTHY THAN HIS COMPETITORS. WE 💯 WOULD RECOMMEND HIM- SPROCKET EXCAVATING TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR THE BEST. HE WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. 5 STAR ALL THE WAY. BESIDES, HE IS VERY KIND AND CONSIDERATE TO HIS CUSTOMERS - even those who ask a lot of questions about the entire process. Thank YOU CHRIS FOR BEING PATIENT AND FOR EVERYTHING ELSE TOO!"

"Kolbie Holocker and his crew did grading and landscaping work in my backyard after it was torn up from sewer line repairs. They did exactly what I asked them to do. They leveled out the affected area, planted grass seed and put down straw. I was kept informed as to when they could do the work and they actually got to it sooner than I expected. They did a great job and I would definitely recommend the company to family and friends! Very good experience."

"SJ&J Excavating and Land Management LLC was hired to regrade/slope existing water problems that would flood back patio and room. They regarded and installed corrugated piping to remove water from the rear yard and allow it to be released naturally in the front yard area. Excellent work and tested after first rain!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

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.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
