"It went perfect! The owner, Griffin , was extremely nice and understanding and willing to work with me for exactly what I needed done at my farm! Since a flood took out our walk way and driveway at my farm, it needed to all be redone. Griffin excavated all the old damage walkway and driveway and also put a drainage system under the new driveway and walkway. Which I originally didn’t think of but to prevent this from happening again, Griffins idea worked so well, since the farm is in a valley and we get flooding quite often! An estimated was always provided and communication was always great. I would highly recommend and will be using again!"

"We had a large group of very tall dead ash trees removed. The trees were located in a difficult location, but they did a fantastic job of removing all the trees, with everything cleaned up. Also, the price was reasonable, especially considering the magnitude of the job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.
