"Last week, I hired Jason Excavating again for a driveway job to install the catch basin in front of my house. He did an excellent job. He's extremely responsible, very knowledgeable about his work, and an excellent person. I will always recommend him. He goes the extra mile in his work. I'm always grateful."

"Troy was quick to respond to our service request for a 12x22 shed pad. We found him to be extremely accommodating to our checklist, professional, and budget friendly. We were able to schedule in the project fast and the work was finished in a timely manner. Working with him was easy. He communicated with us throughout the process and left our yard clean. We highly recommend TWC Excavation & Outdoor Services and will contact him first for any future projects. Thank you, Troy! The shed pad makes our new shed look polished."

"The entire crew was friendly, helpful and dependable. They transformed my overgrown flowerbeds in the front into a mulched area ready for planting. They also identified several diseased shrubs which needed to be removed and prepared an additional bed for planting. This added a small extra cost but avoided having to call them back next year. Overall my property has a new lease on life. I can't believe the transformation. They have my business for my next landscape project!!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
