"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

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. 

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.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
