"A person came out, said we'd get an estimate the next day. In spite of subsequent requests on our part, we never heard from this company again. Apparently this company's work is excellent. Possibly our job was just too small for their staff to bother with. We're getting someone else to do the work. As it turned out a bid was placed in our mailbox Friday July 20th. Had we gotten that bid earlier, we probably would have accepted it as it was less than we'll be paying."

"I would like to say that Max did a great job trimming our big elm tree and also removed a tree that was growing between to of our sheds. He was very pleasant to talk to and very careful with placing the brush on the ground. He had to deal with a power line in the process. I would recommend him to anyone needing trees trimmed or removed."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.
