Customers say: True professional

"5D Landscaping and Cleanup did an amazing job. BJ did a full walk around of my 2 acre home and we went over everything I would like done. He started right away and made sure his timing and mine worked out and completed the job when promised. I would recommend this company to anyone. They are honest and thoughtful and did a great job. Asked me questions if he needed to and the clean up was way beyond what I expected. The value of the work I received was well worth the price we agreed upon. Thanks so much. Will differently use you for my spring cleanup."

"Awesome service, very professional, David Sr and Brandon did a fantastic job removing old culvert and installing new one as well as resurfacing my driveway. Above and beyond. Would definitely recommend Moccia landscaping, Austin was great in explaining the scope of the work to be done and estimated time to complete. Great Job."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
