"I highly recommend this excavating company! They were professional, dependable, and did an excellent job from start to finish. They communicated clearly, showed up when promised, and made sure everything was completed properly. The finished work looks great, and they left the property clean and organized. I would definitely use them again!"

"My gravel driveway in Black Mountain, NC had needed repairs for a long time and the situation became much worse after a plumbing company installed a new sewer line under it. I contacted David Gibson about repairing the driveway as he had previously done excellent work in fixing my foundation that was settling. David and his crew arrived when expected and had to excavate and install extra sub base and gravel due to the much deteriorated condition of my driveway. I am very pleased with the work and I highly recommend him for fixing any driveway or foundation problems."

"I was so lucky K & B had a hole in their scheduling for January and they came the next day. I had three walls of brick to be removed, they protected my wood floors and had their sheet rock guy and electrician come after the demo and redesign it. I would hire them again in a minute."

"Refreshingly seamless from Day 1-no fuss, no muss...project started with a construction site safe and cleaned up everyday before leaving and stayed that way daily until project completed on time and on budget...made a couple changes ‘on the fly’ as we were converting a garage to a 4th bedroom with walkin closet and full bath. Have contracted for many successful remodels in the past that were well run, on time, on budget, and contractor lived up to his end of bargain, and this project was no different. I would use and recommend W and W Construction on any size remodel or new construction."

"We had major hurricane damage from hurricane Helene, where our entire land was devastated with hundreds maybe even thousands of trees. Dylan and his team came in and worked efficiently and proficiently received suggestions and when we had concerns, they went above and beyond to complete the job. We plan to have them back in the future for more projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

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.
