"My husband and I had a paver patio put in last month by PPM. We could not be happier with the outcome. Austin and his team were very responsive and followed through with everything they planned out. The whole crew did an excellent job and everyone that has come over to our house has commented on how amazing out patio looks! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have pavers done!"

"We acquired a vacant lot next door to us, and had it cleared. However, land contours caused a couple of living-room sized ponds to appear after heavy rains. I anticipated having a drainage ditch dug and stone filled to drain the water away. Ground Tech owner Kevin Cummin looked the situation over, and suggested resloping the land would drain away the water and leave the land more intact and usable. It would also be less expensive. He did an excellent job of re-contouring the land, added top soil, and raked in grass seed. He held off the top soil for a rainy day (1 day), to make sure the drainage was correct, and one more day so the mud exposed by re-contouring could dry a bit. While on the job, I asked him for a quote on two other improvement jobs (lining a shoreline with gabian stones, and removing stump grindings). The quotes were very reasonable, and I am extremely satisfied with the results and appearance of his work. He told me when he would be on site, and was here at those times. The work was done as soon as feasible (weather controls a lot of outdoor work). The price quoted was agreed to, and there was no attempt haggle upward as has happened with some others. He planned the progress of the job very well. And the man is a master at using the small backhoe and Bobcat machines needed for my work. Honest work for an honest price! I am well pleased."

Excavating FAQs, 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.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
