"Thomas Excavation responded promptly to schedule a site visit. He had a plan for the work needed and a reasonable estimate within a few days. He arrived with equipment for the work as agreed. Regrading a steep road deeply eroded by spring rains, placing two culverts, re-routing water run-off in multiple places and plus repairing the deep ditch from water run-off across and down my driveway was done efficiently and professionally. This is the business I would hire again and again for consistent expert work. You will not be disappointed."

"Heavy D excavation took 20 years of overgrowth on my 30 acres and turned it into a park like setting. Cody created roads, removed brush and trees that were sick or dead, and took care to keep anything healthy. I am creating a campground and he carved out all the spaces, taking care to keep things flowing and aesthetically pleasing. The fire roads were so good, even the fire marshall was impressed. I recommend Heavy D excavation!"

"Jerid Strasheim and S4 Excavation are a top-notch professional operation. We had them regrade and install Geocells on our old gravel driveway. They explained the process and costs very clearly, arrived at the time promised, worked diligently and made sure we were fully satisfied with the job before leaving. We would definitely hire them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

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.
