"Best Co. is "The Best". My husband and I relocated to ME after renting our house for ten years. Oh my, work, work and more work. I was overwhelmed. I started with my first project, Trees. In came, Warren Howard ,owner of Best & Co. Mr. Howard responded instantaneously to our request for an estimate. He was very professional and knowledgeable. After consulting with several services (3), we selected Best & Co. for knowledge, reasonable costs and a great understanding of our goals. The employees are hard workers and take pride in their workmanship. No corners cut! We discovered thru our tree project, that Best & Co. provided many other services. We hired Mr. Howard & Co. to do: 1) excavation work in our back yard (remove pool, grading, rebuild shape of yard), 2) regrade our driveway, 3) electrical work in house, 4) plumbing, 5) remove and rebuild front porch of house, 6) rebuild stairs in house, 7) repair outside house structure ; and, 8) paint the house. Mr. Howard and his employees are very disciplined ,take pride in their job and accommodating working with their clients. We have been very pleased with their work and results. 5 ??? Mr. Howard and his employees have made our transition to Maine much easier. Thank you, Robyn and Chris"

"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 ."

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

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.
