"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."

"They put in new drains and a dry well for our driveway, carport, and front yard. When the first dry well wasn't large enough to hold all the runoff from a heavy storm, they came back and added a second for free. Excellent customer service, very responsive, good work."

"Dave at North Creek Construction was awesome! My very old garage was in very sad shape-cracks in the foundation, leaks in the roof , decay and dry rot, etc. Dave came up with a plan to fix it all and to make major improvements. All at a reasonable price. . He communicated effectively in a manner that was professional and cordial throughout the process. The result is beautiful, and solid."

"I hired Kody to excavate and gravel my half-dirt, half-grass, pothole filled driveway. In a 3-day time period he came out, did an estimate (on his day off) and completed the job! He is very professional, timely, courteous, responsive to my needs and always kept in contact. He was referred to me by my brother and I have no regrets! I will definitely refer him to anyone that needs this type of job done. Thanks again Kody & Mike!!"

"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.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
