"Great company to work with! They were extremely responsive, professional, and reliable from start to finish. I had a smaller excavation project in a partial area, and they treated it with the same attention and professionalism you’d expect on a much larger job. Everything was completed without delays, and communication was excellent throughout the process. If you’re looking for an excavation company you can count on, whether your project is big or small, I definitely recommend giving them a call!"

"Did exactly what we asked them to do - excellent work! Very happy with the job - they added a 15' pipe onto our current culvert pipe, covered it with soil and then grass seed and straw. Professional and very friendly. Would recommend you give him a call."

"Great work. My property needed a lot of cleanup and I didn't think they would be able to handle it but they proved me wrong and I'm glad they were able to do it. Have them come out for the fall season to rake these leaves up and remove I'm tired of doing that and I trust this business from O.I. Landscape."

"They had to tear down existing deck and replace with composite decking. Finished product looks great. They also did some landscaping around the pool which also looks great. I would definitely recommend Brock Marshall and crew and will be using them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.
