"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"

"We would recommend Alliance Ground Services to anyone. Jared & Kayla consulted with us on our project offering great thoughts and suggestions to enhance own ideas. Our project involved many different improvements and they met or exceeded our hopes on everything we asked for especially the retaining wall. Our project finished at the projected cost in a timely manner. I still enjoy seeing all the improvements Jared & Kayla made to our property."

"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."

"We did a total renovation of the landscaping around our house. Our goal was to simplify and tidy up old and neglected areas. We are older and want less maintenance and may also consider selling in the future. All old shrubs were taken out and replaced with new ones. New edging with rocks were put in partially around the house and around some trees. Other areas were mulched. Lots of trimming was done to some mature trees and shrubs. A couple of them were completely revitalized and restored to their best look and health. I feel we recieved very personalized care at a reasonable price. I recommended this service to a friend for a total revamp, and she was very pleased also."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

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

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
