"Last week, I hired Jason Excavating again for a driveway job to install the catch basin in front of my house. He did an excellent job. He's extremely responsible, very knowledgeable about his work, and an excellent person. I will always recommend him. He goes the extra mile in his work. I'm always grateful."

Customers say: Quick response

"We had the front of our house landscaped. Aaron and his workers removed, the old shrubs and stumps, and planted the shrubs we had selected, mulched the entire area. They took all of the debris away and left a clean area. The results were amazing. Aaron is easy to work with, respectful and courteous. His rates are reasonable. We had him come back to remove a tree that had blown into the farmers field and trim a few others with low hanging branches. We also had him remove a dead tree from our granddaughters house. Work was done and we were left with a clean area. He also did some work for our son. Highly recommend him"

"I needed my deck torn down and replaced. David was prompt with the estimate and started the job within a week. He does great work and I could tell his knowledge and experience contribute to his above average skills as a carpenter. The new deck is better than what was originally put on to my house. I will use Blue trim in the future and would be happy to recommend them for others."

"TCK Land Service did a excellent job clearing my fence rows on my little farm. He gave me a very good price on the work he did. Tyler was on time and worked very well with what asked him to do. Would definitely get him back for my next project. Tyler told me he does other jobs also other than just land work. Very nice and polite young man."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

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.
