"Slade, the owner, was great to work with. He always picked up the phone when I called. He was very professional and personable. He was gracious when I had to reschedule the day of my project. Slade showed up on time and he treated my property with respect while doing the work and cleaned up very nicely when finished. I would definitely use his services again and would absolutely recommend his services."

"This is my first time using Home Advisor. I am so impressed. I hired Bulldog Cont, Inc. Chris the owner is smart, nice & really listens to what you are saying. I met with other people but between Rosemarie in Chris's office who schedules everything and his employees I would give them TEN STARS! Anyone who knows me; knows I do not give compliments that easily. I will be using Bulldog Cont, Inc. Excavating again. I already referred my neighbor to Chris. Not only is my property WOW & beautiful; they do not leave my home until everything was cleaned up. WOW... I haven't ever seen that before. THANK YOU once again Chris, Rosemario, & everyone who worked so hard!! It was so appreciated!!"

"I was impressed with Jeff, the owner, with his detailed plans and he’s creating a beautiful yard we’re enjoying completely. His work is precise and he enjoys what he’s doing and that says a lot to me. His prices are fair and it’s apparent that he wants my family satisfied with what’s done. His knowledge only added to our ideas. I wouldn’t have any other landscaping company work at my house.. This June he’ll work on completing gardens and much more, while an artist was painting a landscape of flowers on panels of our fence. I’ll be back to brag and show pictures over the summer."

"Had a backup a few days before and wanted to determine if it was a simple clog or cesspool related. They sent out a tech (Jimmy) the same day. He located both cesspools and walked me through my options. He was honest and patient, answering all my questions along the way."

"Joe showed up when this was in the planning phase. This was to regrade the side of the house which caused flooding in the basement He guided the project planning items with his suggestions as well as accommodating me for the things that I wanted. He visited a second time when I was ready to make the final decision to hire him. The crew was polite and efficient. I would absolutely recommend him for the kind of work I had done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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.

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.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
