"Josh at Northwestern was very reliable and installed my block retaining wall and related landscaping including stone top soil plants shrubs resulting in a quality finished product. And the best part is that there was no resulting damage to my driveway and lawn when using the mini-excavator because Josh took the necessary precautions. I am very pleased. I highly recommend Northwestern!"

"Larry installed two retaining walls for me. He did the job on time and within the budget quoted. I am very pleased with the walls which included all the excavating and the site clean up after the job. I also had Larry do the public sewer system tie in for me. He handled this also on time and within the quoted budget. 1st class job! I highly recommend Larry Miller and will use him next year for other projects I have scheduled. Communication before during and after the job was excellent."

"Josh and Virgil were great!! We recently had and old railroad tie retaining wall replaced with a beautiful hardscaped wall and it turned out great!! This was only the first of many projects that we will have done by A Plus Landscaping, they truly live up to their name! Both of these guys were punctual, putting in full days of work to get the job done in a timely manner. They cleaned up after the job and left us satisfied! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for hardscaping!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

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.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
