"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."

"He came on time and it seemed as if the work I needed was important to get to quickly. He also did the work the way it was best required. I had talked to others previously who wanted to exaggerate the project's time and needed work. He didn't. He knew just what had to be done and did it proficiently. They did a good job,"

"I was given Diser's contact information from a couple people off a blog website. Before hiring someone I like to look into anyone that I hire. With that being said, I received a quote for him to do a deck repair on my house. I knew it was going to be a difficult job because I own a brick home that the deck we had already had reroofed and fixed up a few years prior. We also didn't want to completely redo the deck either. He and his crew have been hands down the best company that we have worked with on any remodeling project. They are very professional, polite, quick to respond to emails and text messages or phone calls, and very understanding. Throughout the repair he asked questions if he needed approval and was very timely on the job. We are very happy that we hired his company as they were the right company for the job. We also ran into a problem with our skylight leaking and he has graciously been able to give us a quote to get it replaced. It's been amazing to work with him and his crew!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
