"I had an excavating job that needed a lot of imagination to do right. Chris at Bulldog had this imagination and the talent to pull off a job that even exceeded my expectations. This guy stayed with the job from beginning to the end always keeping me up on what was going on and what he was going to do. Any subs he had to bring on board were top notch and did excellent work. If you need work like this don't hesitate call Bulldog this guy will do you right and then some!"

"I dealt with John and Dave. They were always very punctual, the proposal was specific it clearly stated what they would be doing, the size of the septic tank, overflow, main line and the cost. It was all done to code. They were polite, responsive and answered all my questions even after the work was completed, I wish I would have realized or been told how extensive the area that was disturbed would be. I would have removed more of the plants."

Small jobs welcome

"Richie and his guys did a fantastic job. They put an egress window and egress stairs leading into our basement. In addition, they did concrete work in the basement. Despite having a small yard space to maneuver in outside, they managed to get the excavation done without damaging any of our fruit trees or plants. The stairs look superb. I highly recommend this company for any concrete, masonry or landscape work you need done. I can assure you that you will be very happy with the results."

"Alex was very punctual. I texted him in the morning and he came over shortly after. He gave a very fair and reasonable estimate for 2021 spring clean up and mulch placement. Needless to saw his team arrived promptly that afternoon and completed an extensive clean up. The place looks great! Thanks Alex and team! Will see you for weekly cuts in summer 2021!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
