"I’m so happy with the work they did at my home on my side yard! It was very low and had serious drainage issues, so they brought in fill, added drainage, graded everything, and hydroseeded the yard. They did an amazing job from start to finish, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. They are very honest, trustworthy, professional, timely, reasonable and so knowledgeable! The difference is incredible, and my yard looks so much better! I would definitely recommend Justin and Matt and would absolutely use them again!"

"Work was completed in a very timely manner. It was exactly as had been described. My only concern was the actual work came in higher than estimate which I wish I had been informed of during the project not when the bill came. Other than that I'm very happy with the work."

"We used Giordano's services on October 11th and were extremely satisfied! We needed an area of 12x 24 leveled, a barrier and stone for a new shed installation. Frank was professional, honest and gave us a great price. They were on time and worked through the rain. We highly recommend Frank and his crew and will reach out to him with any other future work we might need! 5 stars isn't enough for this company!!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.
