"Ben is easy to work with. He listens to your expectations and provides alternatives to reach your desired result. Ben incorporated our modifications as the project pulled together. He also stays on budget and only exceeded the agreed upon price when incorporating our requested upgrades. His crew is extremely hard working and friendly. The crew, and Ben, take great pride in their work striving to make everything perfect. We would use this company again without any hesitation. Job well done!"

"I am very happy with the work that Mr. Fix it completed. They arrived on time and were thorough and had great communication with me. They reconfirmed all of the placing of the lights and went over the instructions for the ceiling fan remotes with me. I actually have another estimate for more work pending with them and plan on having them complete that as well. I will also recommend them to my friends."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

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, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

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.
