"The perimeter drain around my foundation was no longer working. Every time it would rain, I had water behind the foundation wall and developed a good size crack and that would be where the water came in. Also from the chimney door. Richard called me on a Sunday morning, came out later that day and explained it all! He explained every detail about what needed to be done .Excavating, drainage, crack sealing, and coating. By the way this was done January-February. I can't say enough about Richard, Zack and Brad. I would highly recommend Forrest Excavation. Thank you Richard"

"Paul made every effort to come out to our home to perform an estimate of the work I needed done. I was happy with his estimate, courtesy, and professionalism. I did let him know that I had another company that contacted me and wanted to wait for that estimate. I ultimately took the other company as it was based closer to where I live and the estimate was lower for the same work. However, this will not be the last time I would contact Paul as I will most likely want another project done and willing to let his company perform that work. Thank you for checking out my first project, Paul."

"We had a pretty big project, removing an old camp roof and building a new roof rotated 90 degrees, and adding a loft area. We were very happy with Andrew and his crew. They really go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right - they don't cut corners and take pride in their work. They installed new windows in the front and even used Windex to wipe off their finger smudges! Price was very good, and they're good, honest guys to work with. Very pleased!"

"Great job by First Choice! I needed stumps removed, a small tree cut down, and maple trees near my house all removed. They were able to squeeze me in before winter, they came by quickly with a reasonable quote and had it all done very fast. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend hiring them!"

Excavating questions, 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.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
