"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."

"The Wilson Company answered my request on Monday 3-13-23, and on 3-15-23, they were here to move me from one place to another, those men did excellent excellent job moving me, they handled my furniture with care and nothing was broken or done wrong, what had to be taken apart was also put back together again. I would recommend their service and I would also use them again. I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me"

"I think I needed a bit more gravel than they provided. There are still some bare spots. BUT they responded quickly, were on time, and the guy who operated the machine was GREAT! He moved like it was part of him. To be fair, the gravel delivery from the quarry got screwed up and they had to do it themselves. They did a good job but needed maybe one more load?"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
