"I recently hired Triple 7 Excavation to handle the site work and preparation for my new patio, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and clearly took great pride in their work. They arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made sure every detail was done right—from grading and drainage to the final cleanup. The crew worked hard, respected my property, and delivered exactly what they promised (and then some). The patio area looks fantastic and was completed on schedule. It’s not easy to find a contractor who combines skill, honesty, and great customer service, but Triple 7 Excavation absolutely does. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality excavation or site work done the right way."

"The work done was very professional. The completed project was exactly what we wanted. We needed stone moved. Loam brought in and reseeded. We also decided we wanted to add arborvitaes after the project was started. This was no problem at all. He was very flexible and accommodating to make all the adjustments. This project came out great. Very impressed with the work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

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.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
