"David did a good job for me. He did exactly what we agreed on. Installed grasses and shrubs and put rock down. Also installed pavers. His company is professional and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Four Seasons Landscaping & Hardscaping LLC"

"Huge shout out to Double M Groundwork! 👏 They recently cleared land in our backyard, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They removed the trees all the way down to the roots, so we weren’t left with a yard full of stumps, gave us an incredible view of our pond again, spread everything out evenly, and left the property looking fantastic. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and got the job done right. It’s always a pleasure supporting a local business that takes pride in their work. If you’re looking for land clearing or excavation work, I highly recommend giving Double M Groundwork a call! Double M Groundworks LLC"

"We thought we had a sinkhole but Corbin determined it was a huge, old septic tank! In one day it was fixed. He communicated well and tried hard to repair grass spots that equipment dug into as well as smoothing out the fill dirt. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire again."

"Tracy was great from start to finish on our project. He was prompt in getting in contact with us, prompt in coming out for a quote and got started on the work in a week. His crew was great, very hard workers and kept up the good work through out the 3 days our project took. Even when surprised by an underground concrete slab, Tracy didn't miss a beat, and got back out the next day to face the problem and finish the work. We are very excited to have Tracy help us on our next landscaping project!"

"Tevin and his SMB crew always get done exactly what we need, quickly and at an affordable price. SMB has done many projects for us over the last 10+ years and they are our go-to for yard maintenance, brush cleanup, lawn and leaf cleanup, rock/mulch layout, and more. I can’t say enough good things about Tevin and team, but we are huge fans of SMB. Highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.
