"A&M Excavating did a fantastic job on our property in Lincoln Park, NJ. Their Land Clearing service was fast, professional, and made a huge difference in preparing the site for our next project."

"Village landscaping did a phenomenal job on my home. Chris worked with me in identifying the main priority projects, and brought in a very professional staff that finished project faster than expected. His attention to detail, management, and ability to take in and apply owners input was a breath of fresh air. The pricing was on point and the contracting process was seamless. The finished product was above grade and at a very good value. I will work with him again, and highly recommend him for drainage solutions, grade sloping, and other landscaping projects around your home."

"Had the opportunity to experience Lilco's work on several projects. These guys always had a professional attitude and took the time for all preparations and quality control. They did not leave a mess or unwarranted damages like so many fly-by-night contractors tend to do. They even magnet swept driveways for screws/nails whenever they finished loading out for the night. The owner is always up front about any costs, with no hidden charges to get the jobs done."

"Highly recommended! We hired M&L General Contractor to remove our Asphalt driveway and concrete walkway and to replace with pavers and Belgian blocks edging. The driveway is about 36x22. The whole team worked efficiently and completed the whole job in 3 days! The best part I like about this team is that they did not cut corners and they followed my precise requests to prep and lay pavers, even though it means a lot more cuttings/customizations, and a lot more time and effort to meet my requests. The experience was pleasant and easy. I am very happy with the new curb appeal and the final product that Ismael, Jose and his team delivered!"

"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

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
