"This is a terrible company. Do not hire. David Davis dumped 40-50 yards of dirty fill instead of loam. It is filled with bricks and large chunks of concrete. He will not return to remove and finish the job. After numerous calls and promises, he has failed to finish. My basement floods do to poor grading. Do not hire!"

"I was extremely satisfied with the quickness of responding to my inquire for quote. Upon meeting Jose he impressed me with his willingness to explain my options, he patiently listened to my concerns and answered all my questions regarding a huge issue regarding a previous contractor, which Jose assured me they would be able to correct. Upon agreeing to a price, he and his foreman visited the following day to review the plans and the crew arrived two (2) days later. During the project there were a couple of small hiccups however there were quickly addressed and resolved. Through the entire process from getting the quote to completion Jose always made himself available. Another amazing fact is, the project was completed AHEAD of schedule only because the crew worked tirelessly. I have one more project next year and Jose and his crew are the people I will depend on to get it done correctly. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.  

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It’s possible that you’ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.
