"We bought a new home and had not quite gotten to buying the appropriate equipment to mow the lawn, weed whacking etc so wanted to hire for a one-time service to get the property cleaned up. Dan was responsive to our request, reasonable rates and able to accommodate the timing of service. He and his team came on site and did a terrific, thorough job. Did very well around the various plants and edges. We were so impressed, we are looking to continue using his team for a while longer while we settle in. Definitely recommend."

"I can’t thank the team enough for the care and compassion they showed while scheduling (thanks to Taylor) and completing the outside job for me (Brian was doing all the hard work). What felt overwhelming and stressful at first was handled with such professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail that it truly made a difficult situation much easier to bear. They responded quickly and worked on a fast, efficient schedule, which I greatly appreciated. The area was left clean, safe, and beautifully restored. I’m deeply grateful for their hard work and would wholeheartedly recommend their services. Thank you, B&K!"

"I highly recommend DHI Team. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. The quality of their workmanship exceeded my expectations, and they paid close attention to every detail. They communicated clearly throughout the project, showed up on time, stayed on schedule, and delivered exactly what they promised. It's rare to find someone who combines excellent craftsmanship with outstanding customer service, but they did just that. I couldn't be happier with the final result and would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to family and friends. If you're looking for someone who is honest, skilled, and takes pride in their work, this is the contractor to choose. They are my preferred go to guy. I had them work on my property for roofing and flooring as well as renovation."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

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.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
