"Mark Hendrickson returned my call promptly, and came to my house that afternoon to look over the site and to give me an estimate and a time frame. On the day of the job, he arrived right on time and had made arrangements with another company to have my septic pumped out, prior to the repair work. Even though this was a relatively small job, Mark and his son who works with him, were professional and polite through the whole process. The cost was $300 for the actual repair and digging and $300 to have the septic pumped out. I would not hesitate to use Mark Hendrickson Excavating again, they were great to work with!"

"I meet with 5 excavators about clearing brush and putting a wood fence on my horse property. I have a nationally know show stable with Olympic caliber horses. The fields and fences have to be safe and beautiful. Ours were not , but Dave came in gave us ther reasonable and for us affordable estimate and had a real sense of quiet confidence as to how long the job would take, the smartest way to do the job and what the finished project would look like."

"Mostly happy with the work done. This project turned into a total revamp of my back yard and it was expensive but the cost was appropriate. They graded my lawn, installed a patio, a french drain, tied in the gutters to the french drain, created a gravel area for my dogs and over seeded my back yard as well as put up a temp fence to protect the new grass from my dogs and shored up my fence from the inside to prevent digging/potential escape. Estimates were clear & concise (Molly is awesome!). The team was fantastic, very professional and knowledgeable. It took about 5 days and those men worked HARD! The only flaw is that the french drain does not work efficiently. I have reached out to Tom many times and although he stopped by to look at the problem once, it has not been resolved."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
