Q: Can excavation be done in the winter?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-excavate-in-the-winter.htm">excavate in the winter</a>, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to base a shed?

• <div><p>Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed&rsquo;s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material. </p></div>

Q: What should I do before hiring an excavation company?

• <div><p>Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.</p><p>To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn&rsquo;t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.</p><p>Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to get a crawl space repaired?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-repairing-and-cleaning-crawl-space-cost.htm">cost to repair a crawl space</a> runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.</p></div>

Q: Can I partially bury an above ground pool?

• <div><p>Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they&rsquo;re more affordable is that you don&rsquo;t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.</p></div>
