"The job was to create a low retaining wall along my driveway. This included creating a drain and runoff pipe. The result was very good. The project was finished in a timely manner. The group also refaced my mailbox and driveway gate which had deteriorated. This project was also well done. In addition to the stonework, they have also replaced decking. I have been very satisfied with everything they have done on my property."

"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"Very pleased with Hawks Transportation. I hired them to demolish a large garage on my property. He also demolished a house for us at another location. Everything was handled very professionally. Travis was wonderful to work with. He did everything he promised to do in the timeframe that I needed. He under promised and over delivered!!! Would definitely recommend and hire again if needed."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

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.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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