"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."

"Shane and Ian did an excellent job of installing a gravel parking area for two cars at our house. They made sure the job was done to our specifications and stayed true to their quote and timeline. Any time we needed to contact them they were there. Easily one of the best experiences working with a contractor! I’d highly recommend working with IWWP if you ever need any grading/landscaping done."

"Santos and his crew did excellent work. They were very professional in their work and took care to minimize any impact from the tree removal. They handled a large and difficult tree near the house with expertise. The operators in the trees showed exceptional skills and also showed safe operating practices. Santos managed the operation with diligence, skill, and care taking care to remove materials and debris. We kept the wood chips and some of the logs from the operation. Santos saw that these were placed where we wanted and were orderly. Great job ata very fair price. Highly recommended!!!"

"Great job Jason and crew! They worked hard and efficiently to build our patio. They also installed pavers from deck to the patio and from front sidewalk to the patio. They brought in topsoil and seeded my back yard so I should soon have a great outdoor space. Thanks ZR for a job well done!"

"We had a pond installed by Tim and his crew. The excavator operator / Foreman, Chad, was phenomenol to not only work with but to watch work. The whole process was easy and straightforward. My only complaint is that I didnt hire them sooner"

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

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.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.
