Paul was unable to clear the drain due to a break in the line near the storm drain. He has since followed up with an excavator and will proceed with work to fix the problem. Oh! The joys of home ownership.

Id like to thank this company for their service. They did everything from foundation up to excavation, landscaping, etc. during our home-build project. Very responsible, I have no issues with the project so far!

Medaugh’s was very professional and their prices were very fair and competitive (got 3 separate quotes in total). They were also reliable, came when they said they would. The work was expected to two days and they were in fact done in two! They did a great job with my yard. Would hire them again...

Jim came over and helped me identify what I thought was a leak in my basement wall but with his professional help turned out to be a clogged drain tile to one of our sumps. He save me thousands as another contractor was about to start excavating.

***Project cost = $19,410.00*** I won't fail the company completely since the design was good but for almost 20K spent on a landscape project you would expect it to be pretty spectacular. A year later after installation, the quality and functionality fall deeply short of satisfactory. 1)...

Tim was excellent to work with. He and his crew were very professional and completed the task on schedule. I would highly recommend Brown's Excavating to anyone looking to have an egress window installed.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

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.
