"George and his company were very prompt and professional. He offered great advice on what was needed and he gave a very honest assessment of what needed to be done and how I could save money without sacrificing quality or the integrity of the finished product. These are qualities you don’t see much anymore when profit is the priority. Do yourself a big favor and use George and his team at M&W Excavating. I highly recommend them.9"

"Taylor Luebbering had the job done in one day. He leveled the ground next to our home and down to the edge of our driveway. Mr. Luebbering then had 2 loads of white rock delivered which he then smoothed out as this is fir our travel trailer. Mr. Luebbering also put rock if front of our home and rerocked our driveway. I would DEFINITELY recommend Luebbering Construction to anyone who wants yard work done as he is most reasonable with his price and very prompt in getting the job done to the customers satisfaction!!! I would give Luebbering Construction 10 Stars!!!"

"Andrew Edgar and son (Edgars Dirt Work) came out and pressure washed our Deck, our boat dock, the boat dock roof, which totaled over over 4,600 square feet. He also pressure washed our house, and cleaned the gutters. The area they pressure washed looked dry-out and gray. Ten years of weathering is reversed and now looks GREAT! The difference in the color of the boat dock roof is stunning. I didn't realize that it was supposed to be white, but now it is Very, Very WHITE. I'll be having Andrew Edgar back when the decks dry for a coat of preservative to keep the wood looking like it does today. I am more than just satisfied and I will recommend Andrew to all my friends. Friendly, Honest, the price quoted was the price charged, and he arrives on time."

"Tim and his crew recently cleared brush and smaller trees from around our pond bank, leaving the larger trees. He also tended to our driveway, fixing potholes, and trimmed other trees on the property. He answered our call, and completed both the estimate and the work in a very timely manner. We thought his price was very reasonable for what we asked him to do. He was very communicative and professional, providing a written statement as to our agreement. We feel Tim went above and beyond to assure our satisfaction with his work, and we will certainly call him to work for us again in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
