"Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Patterson Custom Concrete is an outstanding company to hire. They can do the easy stuff or the complex projects. They are legit concrete Subject Matter Experts (SME's)! As a retired US Marine with 20+ yrs of service, I needed a company that delivered high quality work, done in a timely manner, that listened to my concerns and was capable of adjusting to new discoveries as we progressed in our project work. Billy Patterson the company owner came to my project site the day after we talked on the phone. His expertise and enthusiasm to address my project blew me away. His ability to leverage mobile apps for payment was a huge upside for me as well. He had a solution for every concrete challenge I gave him. I even fact checked him and everything he said was spot on from industry standards and best practices. Site Lead Tom Perillo attention to detail gave me more comfort during the entire time. Hire these SME's to get it done right!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

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.
