As the owner, I have been in the dirt business since 1998. I have always worked for larger companies like Dondlinger Construction. I have been a supervisor for these companies for 13 years. In October of 2019 I decided to go out on my own. I really enjoy meeting new people and taking care of their needs. Some of the things we do are: grading, excavating, rock driveways, drainage correction, waterproof basement walls, install culvert pipes.

"I had to hire someone else to finish the job. The person on the other end of text messaging just wanted to argue. No interest in coming out to see the site. Will not use again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

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

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
