"Cornman Concrete and Paving completed a very large rear patio removal and replacement. Our property wasn't the kindest for access to the area, however, they worked with it. Jeff was attentive from the first meeting to estimate to the last handshake upon completion. It took a while because of weather interruptions but they never put us behind when they started our job when it worked to keep it moving. The project involved 2 very large flat areas and two stamped concrete concave steps. They construct to last - top quality. They overdo so they don't have to re-do is a true statement. All turned out GREAT!! Very pleased with the finished project. The crew arrived on the first day and moved a gazebo to start the job and returned to help re-place it when all was set. Truly take pride in customer relations and leaving a job as I think they would want it left if at their own residence. We would highly recommend giving them a try. We won't hesitate to call them back for other projects beyond our abilities."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
