"Had a retaining wall done? Eric was great in keeping me informed of all steps up to the very end and was easy to work with. His team did an outstanding job and the wall looks great. It is nice to have a company that shows pride in its work and cares about the customer. I highly recommend them."

"Working with Mid-Valley Excavation was an excellent experience. They took the time to come out and give a thorough bid inspection. They spent a good amount of time talking to us, listening to our wishes and needs and discussing project scope and requirements. They delivered a bid quickly and they were very responsive to follow-up questions and concerns. Their work is great, the end result was above and beyond my expectations. They were quick, efficient, and work with an attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with them. I would hire them again for future projects."

"I hired Ben to recreate a retaining wall on my property. I gave home some guidance on how it should look, provided pictures and examples, however as he started to lay it out I had some modifications and feedback. He took all feedback and used his skills and experience to make it look natural but also function as a retaining wall. Beautiful and functional work at the end of the day and very reasonable pricing."

"I really enjoyed working with Dallas and Nevin. - The project was to excavate and lift one corner of our house foundation which had begun to sink in order to bring back to square. - They took the time to explain the process and project scope to me. - Very respectful throughout. - They set a schedule and kept to it, unusual in my experience and highly appreciated. - Excellent communication throughout. - Had some changes I requested along the way on other small projects around the lot and they embraced helping me where another contractor failed us. - Cleaned the space and debris, provided a load of pea gravel on one side of the house to ensure it was left in better shape than found. - Fair pricing. Highly recommended."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
