"Adrian and his team worked at our house on a big porch project. Our basement and kitchen subfloor were taking on water from the outside, but we weren't sure why. They demoed our old porch, found the source of the problem, excavated old fill, waterproofed around our foundation, put in brand new fill and a brand new porch, and constructed a french drain to carry the water away from our house. I have never seen guys work so hard in my life. They did an excellent job. The end results look great! They were also great at those soft skills that are so important...communication, prompt responses to emails, attention to detail. We are beyond happy with their work and will definitely use Premium to replace our walkway and driveway when we're ready."

"RK Boswell and Septic and Excavating is an awesome company. The only reason we did not hire them is because we did not have a septic pump we have an electric pump. We are new to living in a rural area and was not sure what we had. They came out, look over our system and told us exactly what we could do at no cost. Their customer service is awesome. If someone does this for us without securing a contract, I think you can trust them with the septic projects that you have."
"We were very happy with their work. No leaks during very heavy rainstorms says it all! They were very professional and followed up after a couple of rain storms to ensure that we had no further leak problems. Their work was very neat, and the area they had to excavate to make the repair was very nicely graded. It was almost as if no work at all had been done in that area. Based upon our experience, I would definitely recommend them again. "

"If you need to replace your underground oil tank, then you're freaking out about the expense and possible catastrophic complications. So do yourself a favor and call Willard. This wonderful family company makes everything easy.
Our very positive experience started with the initial visit by Josh. Then company owner Billy Willard answered all our many questions. Considering the options, we decided to purchase a Roth tank. Not just more compact than other brands, it also has a 30-year warranty. Willard is the only company in Virginia certified to install Roths.
Our work was scheduled quickly. Willard called Miss Utility and also our county -- we didn't have to do a thing. The Roth tank fit neatly into our garage and Billy and his crew took great care with every detail of its complicated installation. The removal of our underground tank went really well too, even though the tank turned out to be quite deep. Frank and Josh worked very carefully to expose but not damage the old tank, and to transfer oil into the new tank. Then the old tank was prepared so the residual oil could be pumped for recycling. We hadn't even realized this step would take place, because Willard had made all the arrangements. Next the tank was lifted and soil samples were taken. Then, using a truckload of fill Willard supplied as well as the excavated soil, the enormous hole was filled, carefully graded and sown with grass seed.
You can imagine how many heavy vehicles were in motion to accomplish all this, yet there was not the slightest damage to our fence, landscaping, driveway or house.
Meanwhile, Tim was connecting the new Roth tank to our furnace, working with ingenuity around the maze of ducting. pipes and wires in our basement. He wasn't satisfied until he was sure the connection was perfect.
We thought the entire crew was awesome, and that opinion was validated when the county fire inspector approved everything they'd done. The Willards and Josh Delaney were not just expert, they were really friendly and considerate. It was a pleasure to have them around, They turned what had been a huge nightmare into a perfectly executed solution. "
"I have nothing but great things to say about Honey Cove Lawn and Landscape and the owner Brandon Turner. He was extremely honest about everything throughout the entire process, and boy oh boy did we have issues. His prices were spot on for our budget and there was absolutely no pressure or upsell, which was VERY refreshing. Unlike many of his competitors, he was willing to use materials that I supplied and despite all the problems (None of them caused by him), the project turned out awesome, well above my expectations.
So the details: We lived in a Townhouse and were getting ready to move. The place was literally only 1 year old, but despite its youth had a host of issues. One of those issues was the fact that the backyard was always soft and had mildew and mold growing on it. Of course being a Townhouse, the yard was small, but it prevented us from using it and enjoying the outside. Our particular lot backed up to a downward slope into woods, the builder built a 12? retaining wall so our yard was level, and then dropped off (it was fenced) It?s hard to explain, but not too important.
So we were moving and planning on renting the place. Having mildew in the backyard was a real hit with potential renters, so we decided to have a patio installed using paver stones. We considered doing it ourselves, but time was of the essence, so we decided to farm it out. I honestly cannot remember how I found Brandon, but I?m glad I did.
So we set up a time for him to come out so we could discuss the project. First impressions are of course paramount, and Brandon was the consummate professional. As I stated before, there was never a hint of pressure for me to spend more money than I really needed to. He understood what we wanted, and agreed to wait for me to find some used paver stones on Craig?s List. In the end, he ended up supplying the stones for less than I was seeing on Craig?s List, but this was all my decision. Now to the issues:
So the first day was excavation. When the crew dug in, they found that the builder had cut so many corners, that all of my neighbors? downspouts were draining into my yard, under my yard, with no proper drainage (gravel, sand, spout over the side of the retaining wall, etc?). So needless to say, we found why we were having the mildew issues. Now it would have been very easy for Brandon to pay no attention to this issue and build the patio on top of the mud, collect his money and move on, but he didn?t. Despite the fact that he would have to sit and wait at work stoppage until the builder fixed the issue (over two weeks), Brandon informed me of the issue. He explained to me the problem, to most likely mitigation, as well the risk of simply moving ahead.
To make a long story shorter, the builder finally fixed the issue, and Brandon was able to finish the patio, all within my budget, and it looks great! We hired him again to do the landscaping around the patio which just made it look even better.
Bottom-line, Honey Cove Lawn and Landscape offered us an honest price, and honest assessment, and an awesome finished product. I would have no issues recommending Brandon for any project you have, he will do a great job."

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.
Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.
Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.
Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
