"Cleaned out and removed over 2000 feet of ditches. Chris communicated well with me. I got my money's worth from this company. Would highly recommend them. Chris also worked for my brother cleaning up farm ditches and installing some culverts. He did an excellent job for him. Glenn & Bill Williams"

They traveled from Rogersville TN to Bristol TN the day after l called them. I needed someone fast and Shawn made time to come and help me the very next day. The guys worked hard and fast and l was satisfied with their service."

"These guys are really top-notch contractors. I had a major drainage issue since we are built into the side of a hill on Herrington Lake and we get a ton of water coming at us after every rain storm, along with a bunch of gravel from the neighbors above us on the hill. They came up with a great solution to handle it all and the quality of the work is excellent. They are very easy to work with and I highly recommend them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.
