"Had an old wooden retaining wall replace with block. Price was great and wall looks awesome! The workers were friendly and professional. Helped me out with a few extras. I think I didn’t explain one part of what I wanted very well. They came back out and made sure I was satisfied. I am now looking at another project for them since that one went so well. They were always quick to respond and we got it scheduled and completed way faster than expected even with a couple rain days."

"We contacted Doerr Enterprises this last fall to trim our tree in our front yard that was looking a little sad. He was very prompt to get to the job, get it done and cleaned up! We have also hired him for the first snow we got so far this year and he cleaned our drive in no time! Would highly recommend his services!"

"R&R Hauling is a great company! We requested for them to clear out a severely overgrown backyard full of chest-high, woody weeds and 1-2 inch thick saplings after the task proved to be too big of a job for my family to complete in a timely manner. I've always been incredibly anxious about paying for labor, as I catastrophize about worst case scenarios all the time, but when I reached out to Robert and his team, I was quoted a much better value than I had expected! Once the job was completed, Robert made sure we were happy with the work. I would definitely recommend his team to friends and family given the opportunity, and they will be the first business we call, should any other major yardwork be required on the property. Thank you so much, Robert and team!!"

"Called MWC multiple times and left multiple messages with no response whatsoever. I even explained that I understood if they didn’t have the capability of performing my work, seeing as I know they might be busy, but still absolutely zero response. I can’t speak to their workmanship, but this alone makes me doubt their ability."

"We needed a retaining wall and stairs replaced. Tucker was quick to reply and provide us an estimate. He came when he said he would and work began immediately. They were thoughtful and very professional. They even helped my husband lay sod. I would recommend Arban and Excavation to everyone wanting quality work done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

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.

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.
