"I am a little reluctant to share this rare gem because he might get taken away from me. Jesse came to my rescue when our neighborhood got between 4-5 ft of snow preventing any of us to leave our homes, some neighbors for over a week. I worked with Jesse for 4 days organizing 34 neighbors driveways to be plowed quickly and efficiently by grouping the neighbors addresses together and sending Jesse out everyday with a plowing itinerary. I can't tell you how grateful the neighbors were to Jesse. Some of their comments to me were, "Jesse is a bomb!" "Jesse just worked his magic and I am free to leave my house!" "Jesse is great!" "Jesse is a hard worker!". The list of praise goes on and on. 34 great reviews from neighbors in just this one review. You can't go wrong by hiring Jesse. He is a perfectionist!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
