"We started with the land clearing then transitioned to excavating the foundation. Perimeter drains were installed. After foundation was back filled,Joe Pita rough graded the lot. Joe also installed our septic system . All aspects of our job was done very professionally. We would definitely recommend Joe Pita for all your excavation needs. We were extremely pleased with all his work."

"I had an emergency situation on a Friday from a large tree limb falling on my house and not really sure what to do, I went to Home Advisor, put in my info, and the owner called me the same day to schedule an appointment for the very next day to evaluate the situation. He showed up right on time, gave me an incredible price for not only removing the problem limb, but pointing out other issues of concern that he could take care of as well. That very next Monday, he and his crew arrived again right on time, discussed the plan and executed the job. I can't tell you how amazed I was with everything to come. His crew (especially the lead) were incredibly professional and eager to do the best job possible. Multiple times knocking on my door for me to make sure I was satisfied with the job. From start to finish I could not possibly recommend anyone else to come in to a situation like this and make me feel as comfortable as I was. Many kudos to all involved! Outstanding performance!!!"

"He was very prompt, he did what he said he would do and when he will do it! He cleaned up all the debris and his pricing was better than the other contractors I checked with! I referred him to two of my neighbors!"

Customers say: True professional

"Lawrence was an excellent contractor, he contacted and coordinated with the gas company and with Galloway co-op. He checked in regularly with me and even tried to get a temporary tank when it was discovered that my propane levels would not last until the delivery date. He wasted no time and came early to start excavation a day before delivery and that a great job burying and leveling the Earth after the tank was installed. Very professional, would recommend."

"Mark and his partner did an amazing job sprucing up our flower beds! We had a lot of overgrown weeds, and they worked incredibly hard to get everything cleaned up. Mark’s pricing was very reasonable, and he was willing to work within our budget for this project. The before-and-after photos speak for themselves. We’re extremely happy with the results and will definitely be hiring this company again. Thank you for a job well done!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

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

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
