"This was a professional job from start to finish. Channel drain project. Every aspect was done correctly. Slade explained, gave me my options, and then showed up as scheduled to do the job. He takes a lot of pride in his work. He used concrete to set the drains in place to make sure they will not shift over time. He was careful about the pitch of the drains. Left a neat work site. I have no doubt the installation will last a long time. Works very well. Worth every dollar. No need to look any further. 5 stars."

"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 was impressed with Jeff, the owner, with his detailed plans and he’s creating a beautiful yard we’re enjoying completely. His work is precise and he enjoys what he’s doing and that says a lot to me. His prices are fair and it’s apparent that he wants my family satisfied with what’s done. His knowledge only added to our ideas. I wouldn’t have any other landscaping company work at my house.. This June he’ll work on completing gardens and much more, while an artist was painting a landscape of flowers on panels of our fence. I’ll be back to brag and show pictures over the summer."

"I called John and left a voicemail and he got back to me immediately. He double checked that I needed a cesspool certification and not an inspection which would have been more invasive and costly, and once confirmed, scheduled them to come out that weekend. The man who performed the certification was right on time and was very quick but professional and thorough. Everything was seamless, and for something requested by the bank so last minute, we were grateful to get it completed so quickly."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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 best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.
