"He was very friendly, and responded very quickly. The only reason I gave a 4 star rating was that he couldn't get out to do the work for 2 weeks and we needed the work done immediately due to a leak."

"Toby cleared 50 years of deadfall branches and established a driveway on a 1/4 acre lot in one day. Amazing. Brought him back for stump removal, grading and to establish a surface drain. Artist with an excavator. Perfect grade and solved erosion and drainage problems. Worked with B.C.X. gravel and prepared a perfect pad and safe driveway for our trailer. I trust him for anything else I need in the future. Reasonable rates. Doesn't waste your time. Extremely responsive to short notice schedule changes. A joy to work with someone so professional."

"Ray is very personable and a professional demo expert. He demolished two structures, a shed and a giant stick-built outdoor playhouse. All work that was agreed to was completed on time, all waste hauled away, and the area left better than when he started. Iâ  ll be adding Ray to my personal list of trusted contractors and would easily hire him in the future and recommend him to anyone I know thatâ  s in need of demolition. Thank you, Ray, and crew, I'm very happy with the results!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

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.
