"Aaron and his crew did a great job. Extremely pleased with the quality of their work. Had 12 pine trees taken down. Had Aaron spread top soil and seed. So far a week and 1/2 later we have grass. I would not hesitate to recommend Aaron for your next landscaping project. Pictures to follow"

"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!"

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

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.

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.

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.
