Trusted Friendly and Reasonable Customer service is our #1 Priority Excavating, Landscaping, Drainage, Gravel driveways, Land cleaning and Leveling Licensed Plumber and much more all while focusing on Customer service.

"My wife is happy so bonus. But seriously It was like a swamp, but now it is nice and dry and my basements moisture is controlled. The front side area by the driveway is now nice and clear and level. Once the grass comes in, it will look amazing. Huge help. polite and respectful crew. Super glad I spent the money to have it professionally done. I’d probably still be digging a year later. Thanks!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

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.

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

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
