"I had been trying for 6 months to get someone to work on my front steps. Only two contractors out of about 10 even bothered to get back to me. The first one said they would do it in two weeks which turned into 3 months. I got tired of waiting so I went with the second contractor, Tricamo Excavating & Land Clearing, LLC. Josh Tricamo called me right away to got me an estimate in a few days. A couple of weeks later, as he had to wait for my partial payment to purchase the sandstone required, the job was finished. It was done right and I am very happy with the result and price. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Josh!"

"There was a shed behind my garage that my grandfather had built in 1985. He passed in 2003 and no one had been in that shed since. Ian was the only contractor that I contacted based on his reviews. Needless to say he took the shed down, inculding all of the unwanted contents, in a 3 hour time frame that he had given me. I highly recommend this young man for any of the services that he provides. You will not be disappointed. I will be using him in the spring for several more jobs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
