"Project: rip out old landscaping timbers and old vegetation. Kaden Lowe was extremely good. He reviewed the work that I needed to have done, and he gave me a very reasonable estimate. He kept me informed of everything he was doing. The results are amazing. I had him do additional work that was not part of the original estimate. He viewed the additional work and gave me another reasonable estimate. He is very respectful. He and his assistant worked very hard, He made sure that everything was perfect according to our requirements. He finished the work in one day, and he didn't quit until he was finished and got our approval. He cleaned up the work area. He left the landscaping work "picture perfect". I would absolutely refer them to anyone. Please put them at the top of your referral list for a great landscaper."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history.
