"I needed to have a substantial amount of dirt moved from the addition that i had started on my house. The original excavator who did the job was not able to come out for some time. I didnt want the dirt to sit any longer as it was impeding other jobs from continuing. Josh was able to come out the same week i was looking for estimates and remove all that dirt. He cleared out the area with precision and i was able to see my yard once again. Would definitely do business with SJ Excavation again!"

"I recently hired Miller Concrete and Excavation to install a new sidewalk, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Ian, who managed the project, was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, he was professional, thorough, and great at communicating every step of the process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable with each decision. The sidewalk turned out beautifully, and the quality of workmanship is top-notch. If you’re looking for someone reliable and skilled, I highly recommend Ian and the team at Miller Concrete and Excavation!"

"Billy was great to work with. He kept me in the loop throughout the whole project and went above and beyond communicating with the town about certain needs. His team did an excellent job setting up a drainage solution in my backyard."

"We hired REEM to handle a major seasonal cleanup and debris disposal for our commercial office park, and they exceeded our expectations. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completely transformed our landscape. They cleared away all the heavy brush, fallen branches, and winter debris, leaving the parking lots and green spaces spotless. Their hauling and disposal service was fast and left no mess behind. Communication was clear from start to finish, and the pricing was very fair. We will definitely use them for our ongoing property maintenance. Highly recommended for any business looking for reliable grounds care!"

"Anthony did an absolutely outstanding job on my property! He recently installed beautiful stone and steel edging, and the entire project turned out even better than I could have imagined. The attention to detail and quality of work really made a difference, and everything was completed efficiently and professionally. His pricing was great, he was extremely kind and easy to work with, and I was especially impressed that he showed up extra early and got right to work. He finished the project in a timely manner while still making sure everything looked perfect. I’m so happy with how my property turned out, and I will definitely be using Bottari Property Services every year from now on for my property needs. Highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for reliable, hardworking, and quality service! Thank you, Bottari Property Services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
