"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"

"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."

"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

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
