"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

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

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.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.
