"Ben and his team were top-notch. They went above and beyond the scope of the project, removing heavy brush and clearing a road to grade with the correct slope for water runoff. I will hire them again."

"From start to finish the guys from J & D Forestry were great to work with. I first called them asking them to give me a quote for some land clearing for a future shed I was going to build. Devin came out same day and provided me with a more than reasonable quote. I moved forward right then and there. The crew showed up within the next couple of days to knock out the job. Their equipment was clean and well taken care of, the work performed was professional and executed exactly how we discussed. I couldn’t have asked for a better job from J&D Forestry. By far the best forestry company I’ve dealt with and highly recommend these guys."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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. 

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
