"Don and his workers were amazing. I was hit very suddenly last year with a chronic illness and can no longer carry anything heavy and I have extreme reactions to any sort of mold or allergen. With my fiancee working mandatory overtime for the last 7 months, our trash had built to a level where we couldn't catch up. Don and two workers came in and not only cleared out all of the trash bags on our porch, but also bagged up stuff from the house, and took old furniture that we've been trying to figure out how to get out to the curb for months. In less than 2 hours, they completed something that had been hanging over our heads for almost a year. It feels amazing! Don's customer service went above and beyond as well. He came and did a free estimate a couple days before the cleanup where we showed him everything that needed done. When he arrived with his crew, he double checked with me to make sure it was all still the same, and when they finished, he took my fiancee from room to room asking if they had removed everything we wanted him to rather than just telling us he'd finished up. He even sprayed Febreze on the porch for us. I 100% recommend D&J Excavating for any kind of trash, junk, or appliance removal. The pricing was reasonable, the service was quick and efficient, and Don made sure we were fully happy with the job."

"We decided to make some changes to a home we purchased. 1. JDI very efficiently met all our requests from converting the house from a coal heating furnace to a propane heating system that was all ready in place, but not in use. 2. JDI cleaned the basement and sealed the basement floor so that we could store things that made the move with us. 3. JDI also built a deck behind the house as well as painting and repairing the front deck of the house. 4. JDI replaced an older electric stove with a new gas stove and replaced the hot water heater for the house. 5. And last but not least, JDI renovated the two stalls for my two horses."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

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.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
