"Highly recommended; absolutely no complaints! They did what they said they would do; no hidden costs, no unexplained delays, they showed up when they said they would & told me when they would be leaving. They answered my many questions with knowledge, patience & helpful suggestions. The work was excellent, better than i dreamed. They were respectful, courteous & totally responsible. They were even kind to my dog, who had to inspect everything. :-)"

"They did a complete tear out of landscaping that had been there for 20+ years. Designed and installed all new and put down river rock. Cleaned up really well. They were on time and on point with everything. Highly recommend."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.
