"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."

"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!"

"A great experience from start to finish. Had a gravel road built from our driveway around to the back garden behind our house, along with some landscape work. High quality work. In and out in just a few days. Friendly, hard-working crew. Jarek himself is flexible and attentive. Reasonable price. One of the best experiences we’ve had with a contractor."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We've hired Pete Boutillier's Junk Removal Company for multiple projects, and every experience has been excellent. Pete is professional, dependable, and reasonably priced. He shows up when he says he will, works hard, and always gets the job done efficiently. What really sets Pete apart is his ability to tackle challenging jobs. No job seems too big or complicated, and he's an excellent problem solver who doesn't need constant direction. He's a true self-starter who takes initiative and finds solutions when unexpected issues arise. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, hardworking, affordable, and easy to work with, we highly recommend Pete and his team. We wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for future projects!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

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

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
