"Ryan and his employees proved to be an exceptional landscaper team. Our project involved digging up old sod, backfilling with new soil, moving boulders, adding cedar chips as a topcoat, adding river rock edging to a driveway, and making two paths and a bench pad with decomposed granite. We had an initial plan, but Ryan suggested changes that greatly improved the result. The results are better than expectations. Plantings will be later. He was able to do the work sooner than expected and was very good at communicating via text. We strongly recommend Rimrock."

"They contacted us immediately and got the permit very fast. It took 3 days from start to finish. I would recommend this company for any excavating needed as well as installing a new septic system. They care about doing the best work for you and it shows. Fantastic company!"

"What a great find CO Excavation was! Bill and his crew were professional and friendly. They showed up on time with all the right equipment, worked diligently and quickly, did a great job, and priced their work reasonably. They removed some large pine trees, moved/placed large boulders, excavated a circle driveway, built quite a few large berms, sculpted a swale, installed drainage, and leveled our yard for landscaping."

"Cavallero Earthworks came to our home when he said he would be here. He sat and listened as we explained our problem. He took charge: filled out forms, contacted the proper county agency, gave us a bid amount and my husband and I just sat there in the kitchen after he left awestruck by the proficiency and speed in which Ben handled everything. He took time out of his busy schedule and was in constant contact with us, keeping us informed of where we were in the process. He stayed focussed on the task and completed it quickly and efficiently. Professional, good communicator, proficient on the equipment, knowledgeable in his line of business, and just a really nice person! My husband and I appreciate Cavallaro Eartworks and wish them the best."

"We were very pleased with both the quality of the work and the experience of working with Parker. Parker was a breath of fresh air compared to the excavators we talked to before trying Angi. He spent time with us looking at the ruts in our 30-year old driveway, discussed solutions and options, and gave us a fair, detailed quote so we knew exactly what to expect. He communicated with us every step of the way, so scheduling and knowing what to expect were a breeze. Parker and his crew arrived exactly when they said they would. They worked hard all day to strip the driveway and change the slope, so water drains down the hillside rather than pooling. They put down new rock, graded it, and then rolled it, so in the words of my husband, “Our gravel driveway is as smooth as asphalt.” Our family, regular visitors, and delivery drivers are very pleased with the end result. It was a pleasure doing business with Parker, and we are very glad we found him."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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. 

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.
