"They came to do the estimate the next day after I made contact with them.  So a price was reached and they started work about a week and a half later (the delay was due to rain and other commitments). They began on a Tuesday and finished the following Tuesday - and that week included at least two rain days.
They arrived promptly when they said they would and went immediately to work.  Demolishing the existing patio was a lot of work but the job, including clean-up and haul away, was completed that first day.  On the second day they came and dug out the mud pit at the end of the driveway in preparation for pouring cement.  On Sunday they arrived and finished excavating both areas and building forms for the cement.  On Monday morning, VRN and the cement truck arrived and both areas were poured and finished.  On the following Tuesday, VRN arrived to remove the forms and haul away the last of the dirt and cement debris.  
I would like to note that the old patio included a walkway that extended from it to the back porch.  As the patio sunk, so too did this walkway.  When VRN was scoping out the job, the representative I spoke with said that the entire walkway did not have to be removed, but instead only half taken, and when the new patio and half walkway were poured, the walkway area could be used to transition the areas by blending the pitch and grade of the new area with the pitch and grade of the old, so that there were no trip-spots or odd looking areas.  After the pour and finishing, the genius of that transition was evident.  I have a smooth, continuous walkway now, something I thought I'd have to sacrifice unless I agreed to demolish the entire walkway.
All together, this was a very professional job, done well.  I commend VRN for their diligence and care in completing this job.  I now have a properly graded patio and the mud pit at the end of the driveway is gone.  I am very happy with their work.  An excellent job well done!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

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.

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.
