"Xtreme Excavation and Grading was fantastic, my sewer pipe was backing up so i ran a camera and come to find out it was packed full with roots and waste, so I googled up some companies and got a couple quotes but the I called and spoke with Brandon (the owner of Xtreme) and him and his guys didn’t waste any time!! He told me the price (which was extremely reasonable nearly half as much as the other 2 places i called) came out the next day and fixed my issue, Very friendly and knowledgeable and they did great work!! I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future needs"

"The project turned out better than we had hoped for. John and the crew were very patient and friendly. We had several contractors out to bid on the job. Some of them said it was to much for them to take on at the moment. One of them recommended we call Grand Terra, I'm glad we did. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Viviano was quick to respond to my initial inquiry. He came for an estimate within 24 hours and provided a detailed written plan with cost breakdown by the end of business the same day. Very competitive pricing. I initially just wanted power wash and staining of my 30-year-old fence. Viviano included repairs to the popped nails, replacing boards and even a fence post. No additional charges along the way. They are very communicative and professional Viviano also showed his heart on the first day he was at my home by bringing up my garbage cans! The workmanship was outstanding customer & service excellent. I highly recommend this company!"

"I have had them out twice now, to side my house and then my garage. They are very professional and they do outstanding work. They are also helpful when making a decision you are not sure about. Their cost is very reasonable compared to other well known companies I had called. They also give free estimates. I would highly recommend them for your next siding project."

"Noel was fantastic! He paid attention to detail and goes above and beyond what is asked of him. Their prices are VERY reasonable and Noel is especially knowledgeable, his work definitely demonstrates that. If something is overlooked, they are more than happy to come back and make it right. Noel knows how to over deliver! I wish I found him sooner!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.
