"They responded back to me very quickly when I called them. They came out to do an estimate like the next day or it might have been the same day. He explained how to fix the problem, what they were going to do, and gave me the price. It seemed fair to me so I went ahead and had it done. They came out when they said they were going to come. They did exactly what they said they were going to do and it worked. So, I was very happy. I would tell others that they charge a fair price. They are professional and you can trust their work. The quality of the work was fine. He solved my problem. I have dealt with a lot of contractors and this guy is the real deal."

"Contacted Dave to discuss leveling a portion of our backyard to install a shed. Dave was available the next day to provide a quote. I had a few ideas on how he could level the yard, but he had some great ideas that saved us money and materials. Dave was available to start work within a few days and it was evident he was really experienced with excavation. He was extremely professional and meticulous and took care to not damage our grass. He leveled the soil, laid a base of stone, graded the soil to the rest of the existing yard, and seeded the disturbed soil. He cleaned up everything really well, leaving the space better than when he arrived. It turned out even better than we expected. I highly recommend DZ's Construction for excavation services, and I will definitely use him in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
