"J&H Excavating are an amazing team! They did such a great job on our water line (I thought it was an impossible project and they thankfully proved me wrong) we hired them to build a beautiful half-acre pond. They were super efficient, professional, courteous, responsive, and a pleasure to have around."

"Mr Cottrill blew my expectations out of the water! When I first made contact with this company I knew right from the start it was the correct choice. I explain my situation with my cattle water source being silted in. Upon arrival he quickly came up with an idea on what course of action should be taken. After he explained everything that he was going to he asked me for any questions or suggestions. Added a 2/1 slope for my cattle to have easy access to the water and also to make my brush hogging easier. This job was completed not only on schedule but, completed AHEAD of schedule. All of this work was done with a miniature hydraulic excavator, this guy is top tier. He will get my work for the remainder of my life."

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.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
