"Great job installing fence. I was on vacation when they came over and took down old fence and installed new one. When I came home, you wouldn’t know someone had been here except for the new fence. Yard was cleaner than I left it. Very satisfied customer"

"I've had a couple contractors come and analyze what I wanted done. 1 contractor wanted to start the project in February which is harder to do and threw a ballpark figure out to me of $30k. Than sent me an email stating he had guys available in March that could do it for $10k. That was sketchy to me. Another contractor from this site came out and wanted to do less than what I wanted and didn't want to crawl under the porches to do the job because they was only 36" of head space. His quote was ridiculously low. Henry came out, listened to exactly what I wanted done. We went over the whole scope of the job and it definitely wasn't no small job. He said it's probably going to be around X amount which I had already planned for prior. He emailed me a quote within 24 hours and I accepted it, I'm glad I went with his company because they were there every day for basically 2 weeks from 8am-4pm doing the job. Great work and I'm very satisfied. The uploaded pictures include before and after"

"We hired Zacarias to replace a very worn out gravel path in need of replacement with pavers. Rony was very helpful with the planning phase in listening to our needs and developing a quality project that incorporated what we wanted. The crew worked hard and in inclement weather to get the job done as discussed and planned. There was an issue that was due to a miscommunication with a contractor working on another project that abutted the path and Rony addressed the issue and made it right. We love the path and the costs were all clearly presented up front along with a very detailed plan for the work. The grass seed they planted which was a bonus they added in has grown some great grass, and the lighting they installed makes a huge difference."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
