"Jake and his team were awesome to work with and they'd be the first I'd recommend for any excavation job big or small. He was able to make our vision for a backyard into a reality and worked tirelessly (weekends included) to make it happen. Jake was on time, honest and dependable, which is unheard of in the current market!"

"Bart Flanagan made an appointment and met me to view the tree I needed taken down. His office provided a quote and a date was set. The team arrived, dropped the tree, chipped it and were done within a half hour. Friendly, courteous and very efficient! If I ever need tree service again, I will contact Bart Flanagan,"

"David did a fantastic job here on our property. He listened carefully and then followed our unusual instructions. We wanted a light touch and to maintain the natural, Maine, pine look and feel of out property. The results are exactly what we were hoping for. Both he and his colleague worked extremely hard while they were here. They removed everything and left the place looking great. This was a 5-STAR job - 100%. I would hire David again in a heartbeat, and I can recommend him to others wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Thank you, David."

"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

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

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.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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