"Extremely well in every respect. They had their equipment in the area finishing up a commercial job nearby, and had extra material, so they cold-called me (based on the condition of my driveway, I'm sure!), explained their services and measured up the drive and provided a firm quote on the spot. The price was right and I liked the gentlemen (Robert Elsten, the owner and his nephew Rocky), so we shook hands and agreed they'd bring their equipment over to my drive and get started the next day. Early the next day Robert called and explained that the light drizzle that was expected during the day would make it less than ideal for asphalt to adhere, so we agreed they'd get started the following Monday, when sunny conditions were called for. They showed up on time and got to work with a cleanup crew of 10 or so and were ready to start paving by noon. We have a circle drive, a cutout with a carport (supported by four posts) and an extension to the two-car garage . The surface applied was even, uniform and right up to the curb and the garage and consistent around the carport posts. We had a light rain the next day and there is almost no pooling of water - excellent grading and drainage. All around a top-flight experience. Recommended!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.
