"Mike did an amazing job excavating out a major grading issue we had from our addition we had done on our house last year. The job included excavating out dirt, installed a boulder retaining wall, regraded our lawn, applying fresh topsoil, and re-seeded our lawn. The entire project was completed within three days and the price was reasonable and fair. We are extremely satisfied with the work that was done, and the professionalism of Mike and The Seasons Edge crew. We would highly recommend The Seasons Edge Landscaping for any landscaping project you have. They will do a great job at a fair and reasonable price."

Customers say: Quick response

"I was given false information regarding the basement of the home I was purchasing. Fredy could have come out and cosigned the information and made a lot of money off of me. However, he was honest and told me that the areas that were identified as needing to be fixed really did not. He gave me some great solutions, alternatives, and insight. When I need help I will not hesitate to contact him. He is an honest many that is not looking to scam people. Thank you Fredy! There should be more hard working honest people like you!"

"We hired Elite Development Creations last fall to do a very difficult job on my property as the touraine was very even with different levels. Their expertise was far ranging and tackled our site with proper man power and materials. They built stone walls, graded, and specimen plantings. They really care about what they do and were great to work with on schedule and budget. Victor was a pleasure and gentleman. Mike R"

"ProPavers did an excellent job. We hired them for 3 projects. They put pavers down in the front and back and built a huge retaining wall on the side of our property and everything turned out beautiful. He did exactly what he said he was going to do for the exact price he originally quoted. Very pleasant to work with."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
