"My backyard was flooding into my house and causing my basement to have minor leaks. My backyard needed to be graded/leveled. I also needed some window wells installed to shield the block windows. They also added stone and edging in a few spots. RPM Excavation was responsive and provided high quality service. I recommend RPM Excavation for people needing exterior solutions for their home."

"I highly recommend Elson. Noah, Nick, and Derek were very professional, helpful, and willing to listen to questions and requests. We have MANY different hedges, shrubs, and trees. They trimmed each, as well as cut down the hostas. They also ground three stumps, added dirt, grass seed, hay. They cleaned up (and, believe me, there was much to clean) very well and hauled away the rubbish. I would highly recommend this company. Their price is very fair for their quality of work."

"Mike and Johnny did a great job! They gave a good quote and said they could start the following week. They did the job faster than quoted and were very meticulous with the details. They were even on their hands and knee wiping dust off our floors before they left each day. Already looking at hiring for another project we are working on!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

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.

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.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
