"Nathan did a great job! I was called out of town so only able to explain what I needed done over the phone. I am very picky about how I want things completed -- I was pleasantly surprised when I came home to find everything done perfectly! Nathan showed up when he said he would, confirmed what I was asking and completed the work within the time frame we discussed, for the price he quoted! I have more work of the same that will need done in the Spring. I will be calling Lewis & Sons to handle the job!"

"Nik is probably the best contractor I have ever worked with. Prior to hiring him through HomeAdvisor, I was working with a different contractor who had mis-measured and ended up under-estimating our project. This job was a community project on a tight budget, and funds had already been collected based on the initial estimate. Not only was Nik willing to work within our budget, but he was also able to turn our project around in record time. His work was excellent. Basically, it is flawless. Not only that, but Nik is knowledgable and desire to please gave us great confidence in selecting him for the job. Without hesitation, I would recommend Nik for any excavating work you might need and he will be the guy I hire for future jobs of this nature. Thank you, Nik, for your excellence!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

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.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.
