"I recently purchased a brand new home in Hollister that has a really large unfinished yard. I needed someone that could do some leveling, spread a huge amount of pea gravel in the backyard for my dogs and also clean up a solid limestone rock wall that was still existing from the build out. He also dug out and buried gutter lines out for me on a massive slope that the builder did not attend to adequately. This is a stand alone, family owned business and the owner is highly dependable, communicative, knowledgeable, professional and incredibly affordable. He takes great pride in his work and goes above and beyond to make sure he gets the job done correctly. I would recommend him for any major or minor overhaul landscaping project that needs big equipment to get the job done. I’ll definitely be using him again this fall to help me tackle the front yard."

"We had CS Excavating install a wood privacy fence at our house. The natural terrain of a hillside full of rocks presented challenges, but Chad and his crew tackled those issues and completed an outstanding installation for us! Chad did not use the flimsy pre-fabricated fence panels from a big box store. They set each post in concrete, measured and custom cut every board individually to ensure a straight, plumb, and level fence. It looks awesome!! Not only did CS Excavating complete the job on budget, they even finished early! If you need a fence or excavating work in the Branson area, you need CS Excavating!"

"Yes. The pro did the job right and efficiently! I had a pretty deep drop in the lay of the land right past the house. They sloped the land nicely, making a gentle slope with no danger of falls happening, making it possible to have a backyard behind the house. They also moved piles of dirt to other areas out of sight on the property I am very satisfied. I would highly recommend Brothers in Dirt!"

"DNS Excavation completed our land clearing/pond construction exactly as we had planned it. The dozer work was obviously done by an experienced operator, and they went above and beyond our expectations on clean-up and finish work. We will be using DNS Excavation for the next phase of our project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

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.

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. 

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.
