"Joel did a great job turning some raw undeveloped land into a beautiful up hill driveway. The job involved rebuilding a stone wall, tree stump excavation, sculpting over 250 yards of soils into gentle slopes and finishing the job by spreading gravel for the new driveway. Joel is a master at working an excavator and has excellent work ethics. I am looking forward to having him back to do the next round of work on my property."

"We needed the lawn leveled, dirt added, fertilizer and seed put down. This team was amazing! They started early, didn't stop, and did it with a smile on their face on an extremely hot day. I was also impressed at how they cleaned up after themselves, and recommended other items, like removing some tree branches to ensure sun got it to help the grass grow. I was quoted double by others. They showed up two days after I was quoted, and agreed and got it all done in a day. I will use them for everything I need in the future!!"

"H & H was contracted to perform heavy equipment work to position a number of large boulders on our property. The team was super to work with. They arrived with a large tracked excavator with grappler configured to lift and perform 360 degree positioning, and worked with us to arrange and configure the 4,000 to 5,000 pound boulders into position. The crew were great, they were concerned about achieving just the right look, and got everything just right. We could not have been more pleased!"

"Jerry at Stone Wall Landscapes installed a dry well and took a number of other measures to address major flooding in our basement from recent torrential rains. He was prompt, responsive, flexible and honest, and provided superb follow up and follow-through on all aspects of the work. The entire process was fully transparent. Jerry was on-site each day, and his crew was incredibly hardworking, efficient and neat. We have no further water backing up towards the house and entering our basement. I will not hesitate to use Stone Wall for any future needs, and cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Rafael and his crew did an outstanding job getting our yard ready for the winter. The yard is spotless, they trimmed plants, even cut grass that we hadn’t asked them to do. Fast, very efficient, and good people to work with."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

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.
