"All materials were removed and hauled off in a 30-ft dumpster. I was very satisfied with the demolition work ? everything was handled efficiently and professionally. Morton Excavation offers fair pricing and delivers quality results. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing excavation or demolition services."

"I almost donâ t want to leave this review because I want to keep them a secret for myself... Warren and his team are top notch. Hired them to basically remodel our entire condo: New floors, new counters, paint walls and ceilings, cabinet painting, light fixtures and ceiling fans, new toilets, hardwood stairs, you name it. Not only was the work done professionally, Warren communicated with me frequently, and he ALWAYS responded. Being an out of state owner, this was critical for me, and he really delivered. Very organized with billing, and his the pricing was great. As a matter of fact, I added on quite a few things as we went and he kept on track and worked everything in without hesitation. I will work with Howard and Best Co again, without a doubt. If youâ re reading this review and still wondering who to hire - stop now and just call them. I donâ t think thereâ s a better contractor experience out there."

"Jason and his crew did an outstanding job resurfacing our old driveway. He came out and gave us an estimate in early spring and even though gas prices etc have gone up still only charged us the original estimate price when they completed the job a couple of months later. He and his whole crew of guys were a pleasure to work with and we are so happy with the finished looks of our driveway. we highly recommend Jason for any work that you need done ."

"Aaron and his team installed two stone, curved walls on each side of the end of the driveway (in the culvert). It looks fabulous and such an improvement from what was there. Aaron discussed the job up front, did excellent work, kept the work space neat and tidy at the end of each day, was very approachable and flexible when an alteration was needed for one side. He was very professional in his approach, but also friendly and interested in what you want the scope of the job to be. I would highly recommend him! Get him on your side for your spring projects!"

"Excellent job! Dave was the first to quote the job and had a better price. He came with crew on time and finished everything I'd requested in one full day as quoted! The work involved extensive tree and brush removal as well as trimming branches to open up view corridors. I wholeheartedly recommend Dave. If he quotes you a job, he will deliver."

"Ryan at Tobey & Son Excavation was excellent! He did some site prep work for us and was incredibly easy to work with; friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable in his field. He showed a high level of attention to detail which was clearly displayed in his finished work. We will be using Tobey & Son for all of our upcoming projects and highly recommend him to everyone else!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.
