"They took the time to review my entire request for clearing overgrown brush and trees. Offered some great suggestions and quoted a very fair and reasonable price for what I wanted accomplished. Their work was great and didn't leave my premises until I was completely satisfied. They were very courteous and professional and made me feel like I was a valued customer. I would recommend them to anyone."

"We have bought two farms in the last three years. Each time I used Dave for all my renovations and field control. He can do almost any project with enough time given. He has a busy schedule, but once heâ s with you, his team is there til your job is done. We used his services for: Painting Exterior repair of home Interior repair of home New trim around shop and 2,300 sq ft home Installations Excavation Tree line clearing Gravel pad Concrete pad Road building Livestock fencing Driveway installation Soon heâ ll be working on a tiny home setup for my Mom and a large overhang for the livestock. Iâ ve used Dave for years. I couldnâ t be happier with his service and team. They are hard workers. They see delays before they become a delay. Everything suggested only adds value or beauty. He has never overcharged for the quality he provides. You get exactly what you pay for. I will use his service till he retires and for all of my projects."

"Company is very knowledgeable (the how to's and materials to be used)about all they inspected including state/county laws governing these systems ie. what excavators are to do to insure dry foundations and basements.  This company has general contractor experience and background education for general contracting so several areas get checked very thoroughly.

"Philip responded promptly to my angie's list inquiry for handyman work. I was afraid the distance from his area to my home would turn him away. it did not. He listened to what I needed done and he comprehended it all well. We never met. We talked on the phone, thru email, and thru text. I no longer live in the state and he was willing to drive the distance and do the work. Very odd list of things I needed done to sell the home. Earthquake restraint. Pressure relief piping off the hot water heater, outlet covers, and install smoke detectors. He is professional, licensed, and insured. I would definitely hire him again and I probably will. I recommend him. Do not let the negative comments deter you. If you communicate with him the two of you should be able to work together. We did from 3000 miles apart."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.
