"Excavating Landscape Services ~ If you are looking for a qualified, honest, professional and reasonably-priced excavation contractor in either Greene, Christian, Taney, or Stone counties of Southwest Missouri, your search is finally over. Saddlebrooke, Missouri is an upscale residential development off Highway 65 between Springfield and Branson, where my wife and I were going to build a house on a beautiful idyllic lot overlooking pristine Bull Creek. Concrete footing with rebar for stem walls was poured and set years ago for a large house in Seven Pines gated subdivision. Then, our plans changed, we decided not to build ... Fast forward to the present, when we needed to restore the build lot to its original condition; which would require demolition and removal of concrete structure including rebar, excavation, adding fill dirt, and grading of lot to create a natural slope and contour suitable for mowing. A major project! Working blindly and knowing virtually nothing about demolition, landscaping, or excavation, I took on the rather daunting task of researching options and identifying qualified area excavators. During this time, I spoke with dozens of SW MO area excavators, and finally narrowed down the list to about a half dozen vetted contractors with their cost estimates. Careful marketplace analysis, referrals, a website presence, responsiveness for quote, telephone interviews, all this due diligence helped to separate the pretenders from the presenters; which all pointed in only one direction, and that was Carr Excavating and Landscaping, LLC based in Galena, Missouri. I am delighted with their work and the finished landscape project; bought in under budget and on schedule. Highly recommend Carr Excavating, simply the best, and the entire Carr Excavating and Landscaping Team was a pleasure to do business with ... Special thank you to Brent Carr and to Sheena Carr for making this such a wonderful experience, and restoring the natural beauty of 762 Seven Pines Drive, Saddlebrooke, MO 65630."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

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.

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.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
