"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

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).

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
