"They had to dig out a whole wall out of my basement to stop the leaking. They cleaned the basement wall and they resealed it with the latest technology. They were very friendly and cooperative. They worked hard, and came when they said they would. Everything you would hope a contractor would do that did."

"How Did It go? Saed and his team built us a new garage from the ground up. They handled everything from drawings, permitting, to pouring the slab and framing the garage. They were very responsive to our requests and were very professional. I will definitely recommend them to our friends."

"Great experience beginning to end. We had 3 contractors come out for quotes and Stable Works was a one stop shop that met all our needs (removal of old chain link fence, bushes, trees, and trumpet vines cleared, plus the install of a new vinyl fence) while the other companies would not do the removal and ground prep and not even entertain subcontracting the work out. John provided the quote and gave his recommendations. We had to get the permits (which Iâ ve never had to do with other contractors weâ ve hired), but he was upfront about that and it was a good learning experience for me. Once the permits were squared away, they started early on Monday and by the end of the day Wednesday were complete! Mike and Jonathan were the workers and did a fantastic job. They were quick to get started each morning, hard working, and answered any questions we had. I would recommend Stable Works for all your outdoor needs. They truly are a one stop shop and I look forward to getting them in for the next project."

Excavating FAQs, 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.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.
