"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."

"Dave completed a full master bath remodel for me that is absolutely gorgeous, along with kitchen tiling work, paining and lighting jobs. I could not be happier with his work! His work is top notch and he always wants to make sure that you are satisfied. Dave is always prompt in the morning and cleans everything when he leaves each day. He does amazing projects and anyone that hires him will never be disappointed. I have hired him to do multiple projects at my house over the years and have recommended him to several people. I will always continue to use him for any project I ever have in my home. His skills are amazing. Definitely recommend!"

"Mike did an excellent job placing edging and mulch in my yard. He was so professional and quite meticulous about his work. His estimate was prompt, clearly explained, and quite reasonable. He responded to questions by email or phone without delay. His brother and son assist with the work so it was completed within several hours. I would definitely recommend his firm to others and possibly use him for more frequent needs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
