"Hillside put in a retaining wall for my fire pit and pool area, hauled and spread gravel, and was able to haul the gravel for me as well. I have absolutely no complaints. Travis arrived when he said he would and completed the work on schedule. He also corrected a previous landscaping project (mine) which included correcting the fall from the house to the yard eliminating some low spots in my yard which helped with drainage. Hillside gave me a backyard I am very proud of. The quality of his work and the genuine commitment he brings to the project is refreshing. I absolutely recommend Hillside Excavating. Ronnie Hyde"

"Buchanan Dirtworks did a great job with my gravel driveway and trailer pad. Extremely fast response time and great attention to detail working through the site plan and patience in explaining the details. Jumped on the job within a few days of agreeing to the plan and had it knocked out by the next week with daily updates on progress. One thing I particularly appreciated was the ability to nail down a plan remotely since I wasn't able to physically be on the site. Great work overall, can't wait to work with you again! Thanks!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. 

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Trenching is not the same as boring. Boring uses a drill to make a tunnel for underground utilities, but trenching involves digging with an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. Boring is more precise and expensive, and it’s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.
