"Lane and his team were great to work with. After a quick site inspection of my driveway, I received a competitive quote for crack repair and seal coating, next day. Thunderstorms caused the cancellation of our initial work day, but Lane quickly got me back on the schedule. My driveway was a year or two overdue for repair, but LB Asphalt & Construction has it looking new again. I?ll be calling Lane for future work without hesitation."

I'm Peter Harris and I am the owner/proprietor of Simple Works here in the Gallatin Valley. I specialize in home renovation with emphasis in kitchen and bathroom reworks. Simple Works does both home and commercial remodeling, small scale and large. I work with other business owners around the valley who, combined with my skill set, can get any job done! I enjoy meeting people and making their vision come to life through the renovation work Simple Works does. Call or email to get your project started today!

"I can’t say enough good things about working with Peter Harris. We had a construction emergency and Peter took care of it skillfully and efficiently. Just after we went under contract to sell a family member’s condo, a water leak ruined the flooring and some cabinetry throughout the home. Immediately we struggled to work with the insurance company and find a contractor. Sourcing a reliable craftsman in Bozeman’s market seemed nearly impossible, and if we didn’t get the damage fixed quickly and competently, the water was likely to cause even more damage and we may have lost our buyer. With high praise, our realtor referred us to Peter. We were thrilled when he agreed to take on our job and ecstatic when we saw his work product was above reproach. Working with Peter was a joy, as well. He started the project almost immediately, gathering information for the insurance claim and ordering supplies. We live several hours from Bozeman and he was fine collaborating directly with our realtor for day-to-day issues. Peter kept us informed throughout and reached out to us for decisions when he needed approvals. Two months after Peter started the work, we closed on the condo. Thanks, Peter!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

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. 

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.
