"This job was just initially a tree trimming to handle the overgrowth on our property line, but they went above and beyond! The tree trimming went exceptionally well with all the tools and expertise they brought to get the job done efficiently and effectively, but they didnâ t stop there. There were vines and brush entangled in the trees that we were not even aware of that they handled with ease, but even with all that extra work they still went above and beyond by bringing in additional equipment! They brought in a mini excavator to clean up the site and made it look like it has always been this beautiful!!! We are beyond grateful for all of the hard work they did, the due diligence to go the extra mile, and the willingness to ensure that we did not have to do any â post jobâ cleanup like we have experienced in the past with other contractors. Because of the exceptional job they did, we are looking forward to employing them for additional work around our property. Highly recommend for way more than tree trimming and they have the equipment to do far more! Looking forward to working with them again!"

"I was left high and dry by another contractor. I contacted homeadvisor on Sunday morning. I was immediately called by Midwest Dirt Work's. Larry said he would come the next day. He actually came and did the work!!!!! I was so tired of waiting for people to show up and getting stressed. I definitely recommend Dirt Works. I will definitely use them again when the need arises. Larry was excellent and did a great job! Thanks so much!! Lyla"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
