"They were quick and they were prompt while being able to do a good job. The price wasn't too much, i liked them so much i in fact hired them again and will probably do so again. I felt that they were very knowledgeable and felt confident about my choice. They handle the project in a very professional manner and would reccomend them to everyone. And trust me, if i wasnt happy with the work they provided, i would be writing the opposite type of review! Thank you so much Sequoia Studios!"

"Highly recommend! They were quick, fairly priced, Mark is super knowledgeable and genuine. His son Samuel ran downspouts underground and did some excavation to fix some grading in our backyard where there wasn't good drainage. Our new construction home is one step closer to looking finished! We want them to come back and do our final grading!"

"This company was excellent (I was going to take one star off because they arrived late, but they did such a fansastic job that I couldn't!). they worked very hard, the workers were exceptionally nice, and they were fast and efficient, and actually did more work then required (they even seeded the bare areas of our lawn!). I would not hesitate to hire this company again - in fact, we plan to do so on a regular basis. You can't beat their service for the money, so make sure you include them as an option if you are looking for any type of yard/lawn work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Gather your current property survey to identify lot boundaries and utility easements before scheduling excavating services. Document the location of any private utilities, such as irrigation systems or exterior lighting conduits. Take clear photographs of your current surface grade, drainage patterns, and nearby mature trees. Review local OH flood maps and secure written approval from your homeowners association prior to breaking ground.

Helpful?

As your home ages, your excavating needs change based on the construction era. Pre-1950 properties require sewer lateral replacements due to failing clay pipes. Mid-century homes in OH need foundation waterproofing as original tar coatings deteriorate in the clay soil. Newer builds mostly require groundwork for utility extensions or pool installations. Address these aging materials promptly to protect your foundation from water damage.

Helpful?

Proper excavating requires careful backfilling in layers using imported granular fill to prevent future ground settlement. The contractor must restore the surface grade to direct water safely away from your foundation, which is crucial in Columbus clay soils. Inspect the site to ensure lawn areas are fully restored and no standing water remains. For sewer projects, request a final camera inspection video for your records.

Helpful?

To see if your property will complicate excavating, check your local flood zone status and review historical maps for old utility routes. Columbus features expansive clay soils that shift with moisture and retain water, requiring special dewatering equipment. Older neighborhoods also have narrow lots that limit equipment access. Always contact the state dig service to locate hidden utility lines before starting any groundwork.

Helpful?

You will find several types of local professionals handling excavating based on your exact project. General contractors manage site preparation, basement digging, and utility trenching. Sewer and water line specialists handle lateral replacements and storm connections. Foundation experts focus on waterproofing and footing repairs. Environmental remediation crews manage contaminated soil and underground storage tank removal for older Columbus properties with industrial histories.
