"The work was done very well as discussed previously. Pablo was very conscientious with his work. Trees and bushes were trimmed to allow light for the grass. French drain to capture water runoff was installed. Work was done efficiently. Grass seed and cover were put down. Sump pump runout needs some more work as per photo."

"The whole project (installing a retaining wall) was seamlessly executed and I was completely satisfied. Because John K. took the time to carefully and patiently explain the various options and the details of how the project would unfold, I chose D&D (of course, the competitive price was also key). They took care of all the approvals with the HOA, began work on time as scheduled, and finished a day ahead of schedule,"

"Going into the project I was very scared of having a HUGE mess with the dust and debris everywhere. Chris recommended we get a storage pod and his guys even loaded all of our stuff for us. I just want to say that Chris with Chesapeake was beyond my expectations. The level of professionalism that him and his crew had was amazing. He made my house still livable with the renovations going on and cleaned up the whole kitchen very nice when they finished. I am so happy with the finished product that my wife and I are now putting together a budget to have our master bedroom and guest rooms remodeled with this company soon. Chris had GREAT ideas for cabinets and final layouts that went well beyond my expectations. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone needing work done. With free estimates why wouldnt you call them??"

"Dave showed up, all 3 days, early (7am) and worked diligently. From time to time, my wife and I had questions regarding how to ideally improve aesthetics (ultimately resale value), Dave would provide detailed responses and patiently answer our amateur questions. When we didn't fully understand he took a minute to explain. From the get-go, Dave was flexible whether in the quoting process or construction phase. If you are like us, who care more about the outcome of the project rather than a fancy uniform, Dave is your excavator. Reasonable, experienced and reliable, we feel confident recommending Dave to our friends and families."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

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

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
