"This is the best business we have ever worked with! Sean was responsive, professional and incredibly helpful every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable of what needs to be done, and educates you throughout the process. Our job (the installation of an EPA septic system) was completed quickly, efficiently, and without incident. We had to contact numerous companies to work toward getting this job done. Many didn't even return calls. Many were unresponsive once they had been out. Two acted as though we were at their whim and totally unimportant. P&G appreciates, respects and works to do all they can to HELP their customers. We are so pleased with their business acumen! Hiring P&G for your job will be the best move you could make! Amazing work, fair pricing, and the most pleasant to work with!"

"Our experience with Russell Laine Construction was hands down the best experience we've ever had with a contractor. From the initial contact and quote, to the finished product, Ed and his crew were a pleasure to work with. Professionalism, Communication and Workmanship were all excellent! We really appreciated the attention to detail and little extra touches that really shined through on the final product. During the construction process, we were always amazed at the little details that were added that we knew took more time and effort, but showed that Ed truly cared about the project and making things special for the homeowner. We would (and have already) recommend Russell Laine Construction to anyone looking to have quality work done on their home. You won't be disappointed!"

"The men showed up right on time. They were very knowledgeable and professional. They trimmed our trees very skillfully and cleaned up the area completely. They also listened to me on my concerns on other trees and explained what they could do for them in the future. I highly recommend Delong Forestry to everyone who needs work done and will definitely use them myself again for all my tree and landscaping needs."

They faced unexpected problems and found solutions without difficulty!! The house looks amazing, I have people stop by on a daily basis to let me know how great it turned out! The credit definitely goes to B and D and their crew!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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.

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.

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.
