"Jeff and Corey accomplished all requests, despite the difficulty of old post removal despite heavy roots, rock retaining wall, poured concrete patio, and garage foundation. Both are very personable and easy to communicate with. Extremely pleased with the end result."

"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

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.
