"The crew was friendly, but they did not do the work that we agreed upon. They didn't bring the equipment that they needed to complete the work, but instead of approaching me about it, continued to work. After I noticed that the work wasn't being completed as we agreed, I approached them and expressed my dissatisfaction. They explained that they didn't bring the correct equipment. I made the mistake and compromised on the original work because I could sense that they weren't going to try to do what was agreed upon. So, instead of removing 69 CYDs of dirt, they maybe removed 7 and graded the rest. Instead of removing the multiple stumps, they covered the stumps with the dirt that should have been removed. Then at the end of the day, they asked me for full payment. I'll never consider this company or these people for work again. They get two stars because the graded dirt did look okay. Problem is all of that dirt shouldn't be there."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.
