"I had yard damage from a vehicle that got stuck in my yard after the snow melt. Another vehicle got stuck trying to pull the first vehicle out and finally the tow truck got stuck. My yard looked like a mud pit from the front to the back. I contacted three companies and Trindel Brothers was the only response. I also had them give me an estimate for two retaining walls to mitigate water from my back porch. The price was fair and the work was excellent. I'd hire them again."

"MD Excavation was very responsive, professional and very reasonably priced. They completed the job efficiently and took great care to ensure the customer was completely satisfied. I was so happy, I asked them about taking down a tree. They gave me quote and came the next day. Unbelievable service! I highly recommend Maryland Excavation."

"We hired the maid service to clean our house on a bi weekly basis, they are wonderful. The first time they came out we couldn't believe our eyes when we got home. They straightened up and cleaned things we probably would have never done. I highly recommend these two ladies, they are super friendly and do a wonderful job."

"Our septic was backing up. We used Angi’s list to find Ox Construction and he offered to come out today to look at it! Right away Tommy recognized the problem and began looking at the wiring of the pump. Instead of the possible installation of a new and costly pump like another contractor suggested, he fixed our problem for an incredibly good price! We highly recommend Tommy. He says he does all different kinds of work. I would definitely give him a chance to look at and quote your job. He showed up a bit early (which we were thrilled about), got to work immediately, recognized the problem and now our septic is working well! We are thrilled!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

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.

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.

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
