"I hired George to take down and remove a 13x27 foot cabin on my property, deliver 95 tons of gravel to my site, and install a culvert underneath my road into the cabin site. George did a fantastic job with the demolition. He coordinated the delivery and pickup of the dumpster, he called the electric company to make sure there were no issues with disconnecting the power from the cabin, and had everything lined up for the start of the project. He cleaned up and removed all the cabin debris, the site was very clean upon completion. The culvert job and gravel delivery was great as well. I would highly recommend hiring George for any type of work in these areas, as he seems to be an honest man, and does a great job in a timely manner."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

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.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

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.
