"I hired Double M to build a million gallon liquid manure storage pit for my farm. The project took 5 months and I was amazed at the work they did. This was a very complicated project. They kept me informed almost every day on what they were doing and if I was satisfied with the work. If I had a concern, they worked with me to resolve the issue. I highly recommend them and plan on working with them in the future."

"Will and his crew did a great job. Nice guys, gave great advice in regards to trees that showed signs of decay. They showed up on time and completed on time. The crew took down some trees very close to my house and my next-door neighbor's house with precision and no damage to either property. Not an easy job! The guys also took some deadfall from a past storm, which was very helpful to us. All the guys were nice to talk to, very accommodating, took the extra step to go above and beyond. Dropped trees with precision!! Also left me with a nice supply of firewood cut into 24 or 36-inch long logs for my fireplace. Please note that prior to hiring Minimally Invasive, I had requested quotes from 7 other companies. 2 were no-shows, and out of the other 5, they either grossly overbid the job or seemed like they would be abrasive to deal with or just plain unreliable. One could not even tell me which month he could do it in. When Will and the crew finished the job, I told the guys that he (they) are my tree guys for life. Great group of guys, worked their rear ends off and were respectful of my property."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

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

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
