"I had never met Trent before this job. I selected him because he came off as honest, he was local and seemed to be raised right and promised he would not stop until I was happy. He did not disappoint Trent was awesome to work with and his pricing was fair. He excavated for a llarge pool and stayed within level range throughout . Will call him for landscaping around the pool and and hillside excavation in a month. Highly recommended"

Customers say: Quick response

"Unfortunately, I have not been able to actually see the yard as I live 500 miles away. I was told by a local that "it looked better than what the city did"; I expected that, at the least, but I'm sure it looked much better. Mr Clements was great at keeping in contact and got the job done ASAP so I'm very pleased with that. I intend to continue to use his service due to the promptness, good contact, and reliability!"

"They did an amazing job on our fence! I called them a week ago and they got the job done in one week from the time he done the estaminet. The pricing was reasonable and the job was done fantastic. My fiancé and I have nothing but good words to say and we are both beyond happy with the results. We have to large dogs who like to dig and they even filled in the holes so that was plus too!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.
