"Pete and his crew took on quite the project for us. We had a Boston Common brick front walkway installed to replace the awful existing cobblestone one. A rotted platform under our back porch was torn up and replaced with a matching Boston Common patio. They also touched up some of the landscaping around the yard such as the mulch beds, removed/replaced a few ugly/dead bushes and plants and installed a beautiful granite mailbox post. I wish I could post before and after pictures to this review because it's impossible to describe how great it all came out. It was quite the series of projects - it really transformed the look of the property completely. Not only does it have significantly more curb appeal, but the cash I spent for the work will generate a nice return on the property value. Overall I'm very glad they took on this project for me, the results speak for themselves."

"Even though Dolloff Lawncare was the ONLY business that responded to my request for services, Mr. Dolloff was very professional, kept in constant communication, came when promised and did a fantastic job of completing my project. He will also follow up occasionally to ensure that the job was finished. Not impressed with the other two companies NOT responding in any way."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
