The Lake Forest, IL homeowners’ guide to excavation services
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.

You can't have an in-ground pool without digging into the ground. How much does pool excavation cost, and can you take it on yourself? Our guide explains.

The cost to re-level your mobile home depends on your home’s location, size, and whether it needs extra support. Read more about the cost of leveling your mobile home.

Excavation costs $1,500 to $6,300 for most residential projects—but it depends on factors like the size of the area. This guide will help you plan a budget.

Using a trencher is more efficient than using a shovel when excavating. Here’s a basic guide on how to use a trencher for your next project.

Trenches and ditches both involve excavation, but they serve different purposes. Unsure which one you need? Let’s compare a trench versus a ditch.

Who can dig a trench for you? You can rent trenching equipment for a simple job, but a local excavation company can help with tough ones. Here's how.
