"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!"

"Showed up on time. Accommodated a small space work area. Cleaned up and even used a blower to clean up the lawn area. Had 2 maples that towered over our house, down in not time at all. It was a pleasure to work with them."

"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 ."

"Very responsive to changes and adjusting on the fly as we found the different terrain and worked thru it each day. Dependable! We hired them to clear a few acres and they were able to do that and a little more. Fair prices."

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
