"Outstanding work, respectful and professional crew, easy to work with, very fair pricing. They did a lot of excavating and spreading of dirt & gravel, built a beautiful rock wall along with site prep for a shop spot. We would hire them again, we highly recommended this company,"

"Excellent service. The pruning of the 2nd oak tree and the Hawthorne tree was done one day, and all other work done the next day. The 4-person crew was very professional, kind, and respectful of the property. The large oak I had removed was right up against a new fence, and not far from the side of my house. And, it was not in an area to get a bucket truck nearby. They arrived right on time at the start of the day and worked hard with minimal breaks - very impressive. They ground the stump from the large oak as well as grinding a couple of leftover stumps from previously removed holly trees. Their cleanup was superb! They even blew stuff off the top of my roof! And the wood cut down was nicely rolled together - not just dumped into a large messy clump! And, they were cheaper than another bid I got from a company here on Angie. I cannot recommend them high enough."

"Replacement 830 sq ft driveway for $9400 J. A. Holland construction gave me a new amazing, perfect, flawless driveway of 830sqft for $9400. This included a drainage system under the driveway from gutter downspouts detouring water away from the driveway, a light grey tint added to the concrete, demo removing the old driveway, correcting a slope, inspections, the concrete and a finish with a brushed texture. Reasons why I chose this company out of 6 bidders: 1. By checking CCB license through Oregon Construction Contractors Board using google. Thomas Holland, owner, has had the same license, unblemished, for over 10 years. Some of the others had their license for less than a year or had consumer complaints, problems attached to their license. 2. Thomas has an eye for potential problems and was the only one to suggest a drainage system under the driveway to collect water from the gutter of this old home. 3. Thomas does the work along with his crew, very important to me as I have had bad experiences with the contractor who has multiple jobs, sends a crew unsupervised. Example: One plumber decided he was not going to do a section of plumbing, signed off the job and had I not been there reporting him, that section of plumbing I paid for would have not been done. 4. I found over 10 great 'real' reviews on J.A. Holland Construction. could find no reviews or very little on the other bidders. 5. First impression of Thomas is an all around 'good' guy, straight forward, no phony sales pitch. 6. The price. Thomas came in low, tied exactly with another low bid, and this great price with the under driveway drainage system. The job: Demo: Took only 2 days and what a performance as neighbors also watched in awe, the street lined with heavy machinery in order of use and so organized as as the old concrete was lifted, put in the vehicle to be disposed of, gravel was put in place. Thomas is a master of heavy vehicle machinery, used a generous amount of gravel and had the job cleaned up by 5pm both days. 2. Forms installed, passed inspection. 3. The concrete pour was just as smooth and also passed inspection without incident. On one walkway I had done by another company, very little gravel was used and I noticed later a slight yellowish tan stain had appeared, found none of this with the work from Thomas, and believe it is because of the generous layer of gravel. In fact, I can not find one irregularity in the concrete."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

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.

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.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.
