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!"

"Brent of K&B Property Maintenance was very professional. He didn't complain or charge me extra because he had to drive a bit to get to my home. He quickly provided an estimate, answered all my questions, altered the job per my request without attitude, and promptly had his team at my house at the agreed start date and time. He arrived with his team, they expertly completed the remodeling while respecting me and my home. Brent's team worked together like a well-oiled machine. They politely answered my questions as they worked and did not mind me watching them. They cleaned up after themselves when the job was done. I will definitely hire them again. They are a great group of very professional and skilled men."

"Ron and crew took down two trees, one large one very close to the house. They cleared up all debris and carted away. Ron cut the trees very low to the ground for us. Very good price, best quote we got. We would highly recommend and will use them again."

"I spoke with Virgil about a limb that was hanging over my house and I was concerned about the upcoming ice storm causing it to fall onto my home. He came out quickly, sawed off the limb, and didn't charge me anything. While he was here I had him look at some other trees and he gave me an estimate on taking these down. As soon as the weather clears and it is safe to be here, I will let him know. I would recommend him highly, he answers his text messages and phone calls promptly, and strives to do a good job for you. I'm glad I have met him."

"They arrived on time and were very efficient! Got the job done quickly and exactly what I needed. Before they did the seeding and straw, they asked if I was happy with the grading! They also said that if anything showed up that needed to be addressed, they would come back! Very friendly snd polite! I will definitely use them again!!"

"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!"

Excavating FAQs, 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.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
