"He worked hard clearing out the honeysuckle and small trees in our backyard. He carried limbs to a dumpster. He pulled out the roots and graded the ground. He was very diligent in meeting my needs and making sure all my requests were met. I appreciate how he spent time walking the property with me to ensure I was satisfied."

"Andrew and his crew were very professional, came out and got to work immediately. I saw immediate results before they even completed the project. Would definitely recommend him for all things excavating, drainage (french drain &, sump pit installation) and landscaping issues."

"I have been battling a choke weed in my yard for many years. I had another individual attack the problem area with a stump grinder. He uncovered a large orange root up against the foundation. I contacted Roberts Excavation.. The three man team listened to my concerns about wanting to remove the root without disturbing the foundation. They manually dug down three feet, severed the roots attached to the root bulb and removed the large top portion of the root without damaging the foundation. They drilled holes in the remaining stump base and large severed roots and soaked them with the stump killer liquid I provided. They pounded copper nails into the wood, at my request. They replaced the dirt and cleaned up the area. It is difficult to find a business willing to tackle a job like this. They did an A+ job."

"They got back to me quickly. Were very professional , respectful & trustworthy. I had a change order the day he started the project. Mike said no problem & adjusted his plans accordingly. I don't know if you can say a driveway is pretty, but I was so happy with it , I took pictures & showed my family. They finished it in little over a day! If I need anything hauled, I will be sured to call them. They said they haul stuff like mulch & other items. I am sure they can do other services also."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
