"Two years ago I started working on this project. Found companies and called. Only one person called back. Got frustrated and quit. The yard and shed just kept getting flooded every time it rained. So I decided to try again to find a company who could fix my drainage problem. Got on Angie List/Homeadvisor for recommendations. KVB called and set up to come out. They were wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Got back within the week with an assessment. Got 3 assessments KVB was the best. Contracted with them. As soon as the weather broke they were out. Gene did an excellent job and even helped with digging a small pool for me. If you need an excavator this is the company to use. They are the best. I feel so lucky to have found them. I highly refer them. They certainly are a + 5."

"This is the 2nd time I have used Safe Electric and both times I have used them have been great experiences. I had 3 new fixtures installed plus a new circuit run to be used for a new freezer in our finished basement. Jon & Eric were the two electricians that were sent to my home. They worked efficiently and quickly, but did outstanding work. Even though our basement had a finished ceiling, they were able to run a wire through with minimal disruption to the finished ceiling. I had concerns about the alignment of the lights on the fixture (this was a manufacturing defect and nothing to do with their installation) and they obliged me by improving the light alignment. They also cleaned up after they were completed and disposed of the old light fixtures and packaging materials for the new fixtures. Their work was excellent. The only negative aspect was the price which seemed very high to me. The cost for installation of the 3 light fixtures was $462 and the new circuit was $903."

"Alan was on time, very pleasant,respectful of my property, took great care to conform to my specifications, and did a good job. He cleaned up his work site when finished. In this age of slip shod workers, he was a refreshing and welcomed contractor. Thanks, Alan!"

"Cole was very professional and polite. Asked me what I was looking for. He mapped it out for me. I needed the ground leved and set up for my She Shed to be delivered. Finished in a day. Reasonable pricing. Weather was a little rainy but that didn't stop him from doing an EXCELLENT JOB. Worked within our schedule. Constant communication Cole. We WILL be hiring tem again for other projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
