"Our project was a demolition job and site cleanup (â excavationâ and â site preparationâ are the closest categories). Josh was wonderful to work with. He completed everything he was hired to do, and did it quickly and thoroughly. His work was on time and on budget. We would hire him again for any future projects."

"We had Jordan and his crew replace our roof this summer. Communication was very good throughout the job, very impressed with the work the crew and him did. We also had our front door replaced this winter. Again, top notch work as I’ve come to expect. I would highly recommend Jordan and his crew at Heyer Grounds."

"The team was prompt and very detailed, was able to pivot and suggest little changes that improved the overall look. They reconstructed a soffit and several bathroom and bedroom walls to enhance the appearance. I asked for non textured ceilings and they are flawless. Great communication throughout the job…I will rehire again in the future!!"

to be sure that theres an very fair priced agreement inplace to know what will be accomplish with the end result is exaclty what was discussed so going into it i know as well as yourself know and agree on the exact dollar amount that is fair or lower than most only to ensure a very stress free time as well as repeat costumers is what i look to acheive. i will not take a job that would be labeled or talked about as in "slapped together quick" i just cant do that because of how i was tought as i got more serious about what i do for somone is what they have to live with as well as i do share that feeling and i dont go home at night wondering about anyhting because when i do sothing i do it right and i do it good so that whoever its for is happy with the outcome.\ni feel that if your able to explain what you need done im confedent that the result will be just that.\nif you had water damage or any type of damage to your property i will bring it back to its origal state or you may have some add ins or more depth to the job resulting in a new and inproved type of result.\nalso lets say the way things are desighned just do quite fit your style or simply just fit objects in to anymore because familys get bigger and the house stays the same . even if you know something has to change but you have no idea what to do about it thats ok we can dicuss many types of options and ideas untill you feel or find just that perfect mixture you needed. or if you just simplely need another set of hands to get a task done quickly, safly and not pay so much that your questioning to go it aloone because i can assure you well agree on what you want im there to listen and understand your hurdles and hofully end up with you going out to shop and upon your return its finished, im gone, and its already been paid! so that you can get back to your day without any issues.\n

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.
