"MD excavating was very professional, on time and very thorough. I was in need of emergency work due to upcoming events and the staff were sensational with working with my schedule and ensuring everything I needed was completed. I never once heard them complain and the boss was present to make sure I was satisfied with the work. Top recommendations for sure."

"I originally hired Casa de Avila to pour a concrete patio. Along with this I mentioned to Gil I wanted to build my patio. He helped with wood and on his own time helped with the removal of the old patio. His attention to detail and timeliness are to be commended in this time. I will use his Company for all my future renovations on my house. I recommend h and his company to anyone looking for residential work."

"Victor and his very competent and industrious crew at ProBuilders did a first rate job in repairing the defects - from our homes builder - to our concrete driveway and the stucco on the front of our home. The work being done to the driveway and stucco was explained to us in detail and was finished in the time frame Victor laid out for us. The price was reasonable too. We still have major and minor projects that we want done both externally and internally to our home and we will look no further than Victor's ProBuilders to get the job done."

"During the demolition of my burned out residence they found a box of pictures and they rescued them for me and put them on a safe place. Also they discovered a bee hive during the removal and contacted someone to come remove the hive. I can't recommend them highly enough. It was a pleasure doing business with them"

"They were prompt and efficient. They explained the steps and showed me the problems and what was needed to repair them. Even took pictures of some of the big cracks on the high window frames. They came and looked over the project, then went to get needed materials and gave me an estimate via text. Then they did all the work and the price was the same as the estimate. Iâ m very satisfied."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
