"I was extremely happy with the work. Lou and his staff were great. They came on time as promised and all work was performed to my satisfaction. They cleaned up after themselves once the worked was done. I would hire them again in future."

Customers say: Quick response

"We couldn’t be happier with the work Edras and his crew did on our new home! From start to finish, they went above and beyond and truly exceeded our expectations. Edras was incredibly easy to communicate with, reliable, professional, and made sure everything went exactly as planned. We actually knew we wanted to work with Edras after seeing the beautiful work he did on my aunt’s house. After seeing the quality of his work firsthand, we knew we could trust him with our home—and he did not disappoint! We also had a major issue with a leak coming from the exterior of our house, and Edras and his team handled it professionally and thoroughly. They took the time to identify the problem and make sure it was properly addressed. The entire crew was hardworking, respectful, and took pride in what they were doing. We are so happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Edras and his team to our closest family and friends. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to do quality work"

"We recently bought a house in need of work, my wife and I thought it would be a great idea to do our own projects around the house. Soon enough , we realized we had no idea how to proceed with our outdoor space. He hired Andres general construction, they provided guidance and a great customer service. We are very pleased with the outcome. I will be definitely hiring them again for future projects. Thank you Andres!"

"Gene immediately responded to our request for a quote and professionally evaluated the project. Lance and his crew carefully carried out the drainage project and regrading, and made improvements to the original plan as they further evaluated the project while it was in progress. When the job was complete, all debris was removed. All around superb customer service!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.
