"Scotty has provided his services for 2 of my projects. One was a bridge across a creek so I could reach some acreage I did not have access to. The other was rip rap around a pond dam to eliminate erosion. Both were excellent, on time and in budgets. Definitely use him again."

"My 2 acre farm pond developed a large hole in the dam and prevented the pond from maintaining a good water level. Mid-State repaired the hole and cleared the dam of trees and shrubs, and sloped the dam which has allowed me to keep it clear with a riding mower. Grass has grown back and pond looks great. Service was very prompt and professionally done. I recommend them to all my friends needing dirt and Dozer work."

"These guys are exceptional at what they do. Everyone was polite and more than accommodating to our needs. Work was done on time and on budget. Very easy to work with. They made sure we were included in the project steps with daily updates. Equipment was in excellent condition and when job was completed we walked threw to make sure what we needed was to our satisfaction before any mention of payment. This will be the only contractor I will recommend or use in future projects. Thank you to all the Cypress Bottom Construction crew for a job well done!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

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. 

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
