"Bob was fantastic to work with! He came out and gave me an estimate that was good and was able to get the job done in a timely manner! Him and his worker (Don) were knowledgeable and worked well to make sure the project was done in a way that not only looks good but worked for what I wanted! I am beyond happy with the way Bob completed my project! Thank you Bob (and Don)!"

"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."

"Eric stepped up in an emergency situation and was considerate and kind during the process. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field (excavation and utility lines). His workers were hard working and pleasant. I dont know what I would have done without their willingness to take on the job. I have nothing negative to say and am extremely appreciative!"

"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."

"Mike was very consistent. If he said he would be here, he was here. Quick response on quotes, hard working crew, beautiful plants and always so helpful. If he did not know something he would find out for you. He also called to stay in touch if he got busy or the weather was not cooperating. I highly recommend."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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.

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.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
