"Peyton did an outstanding job with the excavation, clearing, grading and leveling of our yard. From start to finish, they were easy to work with, professional, reliable, and took great pride in their work. They genuinely care about customer satisfaction. If you’re looking for a company that delivers high-quality work for excavation or property improvement, I highly recommend Whipkey Excavating!"

"These guys were prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and skilled. â True professionalsâ showed up when they said they would for an emergency gas line repair excavation. They did not cause any unnecessary yard damage and even seamlessly replaced the grass where they dug. Top notch service and I would highly recommend!!!"

"Larry did an excellent job filling in my pool and grading the hillside to make it look seamless. He hydroseeded and now you can never tell a pool was there. He graded the yard and hillside beautifully for good drainage."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
