"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!"

"This was a job I'd been putting off for a few months but figured I better get it done before the winter. I picked Priority based on other reviews that I read. John (Owner) came when promised to provide an estimate and was nice enough to tell me that there was a 10% discount coupon on Angie's list. They arrived on time to do the work. John, Paul and Mike were professional and courteous.
When the work started, John discovered that there was another pipe in old block cesspool. He had his men locate where the pipe led to and discovered an overflow block cesspool. John filled that one in also and only charged me for the pumping fee. It is a messy job because of the large excavating machine used but they took care to restore and level the yard as best they could.  I would use them again for any future work.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.
