"We chose EarthWise to correct 45+ years of erosion re-grade widen a 100 -long S-shaped gravel driveway at our home. Included was design, excavation construction of a new 5 high dry-stack retaining wall. The whole EarthWise crew was skilled pros who did all parts of the job efficiently and with good cheer. Everyone worked well together and were easy for us the homeowners to deal with throughout the job. The results of last week's project were not only first-rate from an engineering standpoint, but also the aesthetics of their work is outstanding. Our rebuilt driveway is beautiful. Earthwise gives excellent value for the fees they bid and they do the kind of high-quality, heavy-machinery work that is far beyond any DIYer. Check out their website (https://earthwiseearthworks.com/) for photo samples of what they can do for you. We would recommend Dominic Dahl-Bredine and his EarthWise crew to anyone."

They were really easy to work with and walked me through the whole process with constant updates with each step performed. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality work done in a timely and professional manner."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
