"Outstanding work, respectful and professional crew, easy to work with, very fair pricing. They did a lot of excavating and spreading of dirt & gravel, built a beautiful rock wall along with site prep for a shop spot. We would hire them again, we highly recommended this company,"

"We recently had James come out to help clear an absolute mountain of overgrown blackberries in our yard, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, he was so kind, approachable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. His pricing was incredibly fair and transparent, and he didn't just meet our expectations—he went completely above and beyond with the quality of his work, turning a massive headache of a project into a clean, manageable space. We feel so lucky to have found him. We will definitely be reaching back out to him for future projects and are already recommending him to all our friends and family. If you need excavation or yard work done, James is your guy!!"

"Daniel was awesome to work with. He came out and provided a solid estimate in a timely fashion. We had an unexpected sprinkler line that was in the middle of our excavation area and he took care of that. He also provided the materials for a retaining wall that we hadn't initially planned for, and he added that to the project scope without issue. I will definitely reach out to Daniel if we have another project like this one."

"I hired Paul to help me with multiple projects. He mowed our 2 acre field property when the grass was 4-5ft tall, which gave us easy access to our whole property. He regraded our driveway with approx 20yrds of gravel, leaving it smooth enough I could easily ride my street bike on it. He also excavated a small seasonal pond on our property and removed enough dirt to triple it in size, giving us a year round pond. Very happy with the results of all his work, worth every penny. I will be using Army of One again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

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. 

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
