We are a new family owned business with over 7 years operating machines. I am a disabled veteran. We specialize in land clearing and mulching but can tackle any job weather it is digging a foundation or basement to redoing a driveway. My wife is the business manager and co owner and I handle all the on site management. We just started the business officially but have been doing this work together for about a year now before we decided to take a risk and go out on our own. We dig ponds. Can do finish grading. Dig geothermal loops. Clear farmland. I was injured while in military but I bring the same drive to our business. Never give up no matter how tough and we would rather have a lifelong customer than quick paycheck. Our slogan is Your Property is Our reputation

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.
