"Robbie Moody, owner and operator of Cold Mountain Grading, is an exceptional young man. He is polite, professional, responsible, reliable and an outstanding problem-solver. His communication skills were excellent, and from his first visit, Robbie was able to offer solutions that others did not mention. He put in a new drain from the gutter, installed a new French drain along the side of the building that was too low, spread topsoil to raise about .5 of my yard, planted seed and covered with straw. Under my deck he built a retaining wall, and spread crushed stone to level. The job was done perfectly, and in only three days. I would definitely hire and recommend Robbie in the future."

"After purchasing my first home, I realized quickly that things were less than perfect. 3 months in, we were finding water intrusion in our crawl space. I had multiple companies come to inspect what was going on. I didn’t feel confident in their solutions, there was more to our situation. After feeling helpless, I read about David Gibson construction. Their testimonies really struck my interest. A local expert, that won’t take a job unless it’s done right, and always found the root of the issue. David came over, surveyed the entire property, inspected the crawl space / foundation, did soil samples, and sent over an entire report on what he believed was going on. We immediately hired him. Davis addressed the root cause and any additional repairs he found along the way. He and his crew were extremely professional, timely, and easy to work with.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
