"When Chris came to bid my collapsed retaining wall, he explained the process, made good suggestions and was very knowledgeable. Great communication. His crew showed up on time and worked hard. Cleaned up very nicely when done. I am impressed! Would hire them again."

"I hired Daily & Sons for all of the excavation work while building my new home and I couldn't be happier. Zach and his crew were great to work with and are very good at what they do. My property turned out amazing and I appreciate the great experience working with the entire Daily & Sons crew. I highly recommend them to all of my friends and would hire them again without hesitation."

"Greg is great. This was a 120 foot retaining wall project. Like any excavation project, this one had a surprise or two. Greg handled them with no problem at all, and took extra time to make sure all the work was done properly. I'm now looking around to see what else I can have him do on my property. I would highly recommend him."

"My husband and I are first timers on house building. Chirs, Brian, and Shayne were amazing at their jobs. I can't say enough good things about the job they did for us. The property was a blank slate. Nothing had been done to it. WIthin 2 days the trees were down and gone on a 78 x 150 lot. Next came the stump removal and grinding. More machinery was brought in to clear up the floor of the house pad and begin bringing in rock. They put in a 20 ' culvert and 30 ft long driveway. All the while being respectful of the trees we wanted left standing. Great people. Great job. For all of the work they did I thought their bid was fair. Thank you again Outer Limits! L & W"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

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.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
