"DT Contracting just completed a 46’ retaining wall in front of our house and I could not possibly be happier with the quality of the work. Dan was easy to work with and professional in all manner. The dedication to detail and quality of work during construction was outstanding. Dan takes pride in his work and customer satisfaction. To put it simply, if you need a retaining wall, concrete work or other related work and you do not talk with Dan at D T Construction – Shame on you."

"Bradley was not only professional & courteous, he was meticulous about his work. He responded to my inquiry for a job I needed done in record time & got me into his schedule much sooner than I had expected. He was also sweet to my little kids, who insisted they watch him use the big excavator machine. I would definitely recommend him for any lawn care issues!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.
