Please DON'T select us if you need grading, leveling, dirt work, trenching, culvert. \nHome Advisior has limited categories to put contractors in. The excavating and site work is the best they have to put us in. We only clear properties of trees and underbrush. If you have any questions before you select us please call 937-790-0058 to see if we can help. \n

"These guys go above and beyond. The know what they are doing, and have the right machinery to do the job right. They did a large excavation project for me, and thought of many things in doing it right that I had not considered. They make sure the work is done the way you want it to be done. I often stress out over contractors doing work for me, when I didnt already know them, but I lost the stress right away as they started working. Great character and work ethic. Would hire them again."

Customers say: True professional

"Drew was fantastic! I hired him to excavate an overgrown beach area, install a weed barrier, and put in new sand. He promptly responded to my inquiry, set up an appointment to see the job, and provide a quote. On the day of the work, he arrived on time and worked efficiently throughout the day. Despite rain, he stayed to finish the job. He communicated throughout the day at various points in the project to insure I was satisfied before he moved on to next steps. Drew's solo business is relatively new, but he has several years of experience in his father's excavation business. Drew is knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him, and he will be my first call when I have another excavation project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
