"Extremely well in every respect. They had their equipment in the area finishing up a commercial job nearby, and had extra material, so they cold-called me (based on the condition of my driveway, I'm sure!), explained their services and measured up the drive and provided a firm quote on the spot. The price was right and I liked the gentlemen (Robert Elsten, the owner and his nephew Rocky), so we shook hands and agreed they'd bring their equipment over to my drive and get started the next day. Early the next day Robert called and explained that the light drizzle that was expected during the day would make it less than ideal for asphalt to adhere, so we agreed they'd get started the following Monday, when sunny conditions were called for. They showed up on time and got to work with a cleanup crew of 10 or so and were ready to start paving by noon. We have a circle drive, a cutout with a carport (supported by four posts) and an extension to the two-car garage . The surface applied was even, uniform and right up to the curb and the garage and consistent around the carport posts. We had a light rain the next day and there is almost no pooling of water - excellent grading and drainage. All around a top-flight experience. Recommended!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.
