"I called Forever Excavating to get a quote on to remove several large oak trees near my house. They returned my call promptly and scheduled a time to come evaluate the work at a time that was convenient for me. They were on time, professional, knowledgeable and provided an estimate that I believe to be reasonable and thorough. The work was completed on time. I would gladly recommend them to anyone and will definitely be in contact for my future landscaping needs."

"Marc went above and beyond when installing a yard drainage system in our side yard. He was quick to give us a competitive quote, easy to work with, and got a complicated job done fast. I would highly recommend him for homeowners looking to modify the slope and or drainage plan for their plot."

"Brian and Cory took up my old brick walkway, re-graded the area (we had a significant ‘ponding’ issue), relaid the brick in the original, beautiful pattern, filled in the spaces between the bricks. Brian is easy to communicate with, responds promptly, shows up when he says he will. We’ve now hired him to replace steps in our backyard. Thank you Brian!"

"Duke's did a great job! They arrived at the job early and were very efficient at cleaning out the storage unit. They were professional and friendly. I was very happy to be using a local company, also. I would definitely hire Duke's again, and would highly recommend them to anyone needing any of their services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
