"Jason Hebert and his sons did an absolutely amazing job removing 135 ft. of overgrown cedar hedges that were approx. 35 ft. tall. I thought his rates were very fair. He removed all the stumps with an excavator and hauled off all of the debris. He back-filled the gaps made by removing the stumps and leveled the work area. Then he re-seeded it all. It should look amazing in a couple of weeks. I am extremely happy with his work and his professionalism. I HIGHLY recommend this company!!!"

"Darin and his crew at Hilltop were professional, courteous, knowledgeable and timely. Hilltop handled the excavation, permits, concrete pour, framing, electrical, roofing, siding, and finish of the garage project. It will definitely be an added value to my home. Hilltop did an excellent job, especially in the adverse winter conditions. I would absolutely hire Darin/Hilltop again. Darin was also excellent in communicating via email, text, and/or voice. This was a convenience to me as I do not have cell reception at work."

"The work itself, the actual basement waterproofing appears to be working but our flood season hasn't come yet so, I'm reserving judgement. But, the way the work was done was a problem and the initial way that they got with the problem wasn't satisfactory. Eventually, months after work I did get some resolution but is wasn't a smooth transaction. We moved some of the finished portions of the basement to do their work and the way that that was handled was very sloppy and rushed, and very expensive to repair. And then, when the initial point of having somebody come and look at all my questions, it was not the owner, it was his foreman and it was not dealt within a professional manner. After 2 contacts, tried to explain what the problems were and has offered that they have an annual service to make sure that everything is working and there's a fee for that, though he offered 2 years of that with no cost, so that was a nice gesture. He tried to make up for the problems but like I said, there were problems."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

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.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

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.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
