"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."

"I hired Capps Excavation to cut in a new driveway and he did an amazing job. Took down a few big trees that were in the way and that didn't phase them at all. It was on a pretty step slope and they handled it like it was nothing. I wouldn't think twice about hiring them again or recommending them to someone for any excavation, landscaping or tree work!"

"Austin from Fox Creek Construction & Grading did a fantastic job with clearing our land for our homestead! Our property was clear cut many years ago and when we purchased it, we were unaware that the previous contractor left all of the debris piled high in the center of the property; to say it was a mountain of mess is an understatement! Austin got to work on that and had it under control in one day, splitting it up into piles for burning was just part of his great work on the land to create room for the gardens and orchards to come. I would 100% recommend his company for any clearing, or other land work you might need. They were reasonably priced and so friendly to work with. He transformed our place, allowing us to get on with our plans for the homestead. Thanks again Austin- you did a wonderful job!"

"Nic is an awesome guy. He was on it from day 1 and so courteous and nice. He is very knowledgeable of his craft. He gave us a great quote but the mobile home factory we was working with was incompetent and didn't flag the land. As a result the contract was terminated and we could no longer move forward with land that might not perc. So folks steer clear of Clayton in Waynesville but hire New Ground and Clearing for all your land and grating needs!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
