"Andrew and his crew were very professional, came out and got to work immediately. I saw immediate results before they even completed the project. Would definitely recommend him for all things excavating, drainage (french drain &, sump pit installation) and landscaping issues."

"After snowfall in late February 2022 melted, I noticed a dip or trench that formed in my near year-old front yard, the trench under the builder warranty, but with the delays in the building industry, the builder couldn't repair it until well after the grass seed planting season, so PG Excavating provided me an estimate for which the builder reimbursed, and PG did the topsoil fill and grading the same day that they were scheduled to do sump pump drainage work in my backyard. PG is professional, friendly, and hard-working--completed all the work and cleaned up in about six hours all on the same day."

"Jeff and Corey accomplished all requests, despite the difficulty of old post removal despite heavy roots, rock retaining wall, poured concrete patio, and garage foundation. Both are very personable and easy to communicate with. Extremely pleased with the end result."

"Shrubs at 2 properties needed to be removed. They were original landscape estimated to be 40+ years old. Two story house needed updated landscaping and retaining wall, single story home needed painted but but unable to access due to shrubs. Thorpe Site Solutions was working near by, I asked them to stop and give us a quote. They were professional and personable, we walked the property, they took photos and asked questions about accessibility to different areas. They were up front with concerns about possible damage to existing flower beds and explained a plan to minimize damage to yard from equipment. i requested shrubs be pulled out vs cut off and stumps ground. Within 48 hrs they sent me a quote for each of the jobs. The next week they started work...they worked non-stop x 2 days to complete the work and haul away all of the debris, they level the landscape where there were holes. No regrets, No disappointments! THEY DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB!!"

"They went above and beyond in their cleanup, thanks. Done in an hour for 250 bucks, debris hauled away. Back yard looks great, my health issues prevent too much work on my part, they helped this old vet greatly."

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.
