"The rains had washed the entrance to our driveway out and formed a large ditch. After almost a year of posting on some sites this company responded. They repaired and made a new entrance to our driveway. It looks wonderful. They were kind and professional. They got the job done. I give them 5 stars"

"We had an area (approx. 5 acres +/-) that needed to be cleared. It was really overgrown with grapevine, thorn bushes, smaller trees and Johnson grass. (it was over 5 feet tall at the time). Normally we would brush hog it but it is in a low lying area so there was a lot of debris! Austin came out and cleared it and had it all piled up for us to burn within two days! The cost was reasonable and well worth it! He was friendly and professional and I would definitely hire him again! Thanks Jones Quality Construction! I look forward to working with you again!!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

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.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.
