"I had a great experience with A&M Excavating in Lincoln Park, NJ. Their team was professional, reliable, and did an excellent job with the drywall excavating services we needed. The work was completed on time, and the site was left clean and organized. Highly recommended!"

"We recently had our backyard project completed, including land leveling, a retaining wall, and repairing pavers that had settled during the dirt hauling process. We are very happy with the final result. The contractor completed the work within the agreed timeline and delivered everything as discussed in the project scope. His pricing was reasonable, communication was excellent, and he paid close attention to detail. Any issues that came up during the project were addressed promptly and professionally. The before-and-after photos speak for themselves—the transformation is outstanding. If you’re looking for someone who provides quality workmanship, fair pricing, and delivers what they promise, I highly recommend him. I would confidently refer him to my family and friends."

"Stopped by almost immediately and Got a fair quote and was the cheapest. 2 other contractors never even showed up and one just looked at google maps to give me an estimate. It wasn’t a big job (2 car driveway), but when I was ready for the work, they showed up the next day as agreed to do the demolition and compacted stone/ gravel. They called and asked me on what day would be best for the paving and I told them asap or Thursday. They showed up first thing on Thursday and finished the job in about 2-3 hours. They then cleaned up everything and the driveway looks great! They did a fantastic job at a great and fair price! Very respectful of neighbors and my property! I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them!!"

"The lights look amazing. Conti Landscaping did an excellent job, and I couldn't be happier with their exceptional service. They were not only punctual but also displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process. What impressed me the most was their attentiveness to my preferences â they listened carefully and executed the job exactly as I envisioned. My holiday landscape looks stunning, thanks to their outstanding work. Highly 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!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
