"We had a wonderful experience working with DiVerdi Site Solutions. Our property had a very wooded and uneven side and back yard that felt unusable, and we weren’t sure where to begin. Rob was incredibly helpful from the start—he took the time to walk the property with us, explain what was possible, and help us identify the best way to accomplish our goals. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process and made sure every step was followed through exactly as planned. The transformation has been amazing. Rob cleared and excavated the heavily wooded side yard and turned it into a safe, open, and usable space where our kids can play. He also leveled off the back yard, which is now functional and enjoyable instead of sloped and difficult to use. Rob was professional, efficient, and respectful of our property. The quality of his work exceeded our expectations, and the end result has made a huge difference in how we use and enjoy our yard. I would highly recommend!"

"Spring yard cleanup, clean flower beds , add stone to flower beds, and remove 3 large abrovites. James was wonderful. He gave me a very fair estimate. Showed up on time with his crew. The day started with some flurries but that didn't stop them from getting the job done. Looks great 👍."

"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!"

"Highly recommend Kevin and his son. Excellent work and great professionalism. Needed to have a new water heater wired in and Kevin was at my home the next day earlier than scheduled which was perfect as he was able to work along side our plumber. Kevin is now my electrician for all future projects. Thank you so much."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
