"I was very pleased with the way Mini Backhoe Services handled my project. Shane was great at explaining how to re-slope (regrade) my side yard where there was standing water during medium to heavy rains. The slope was steep. Several options were recommended from bringing in loads of dirt (soil) to level out the slope. Bringing in dirt was a problem since it was uncertain as to just how much dirt would be needed. The first visit was exploratory allowing Shane to see what the project entailed. Ultimately, we decided to do the project in two steps, which I was very comfortable with. The first step was to use the existing dirt already on the slope to regrade the steep hill, wait for rain to see the effect, that would let us know if next steps were needed and how much added soil was needed. I was very satisfied with the plan. The very next week, Brandon came in with the Bobcat and re positioned the hill into a smooth grade that made such a difference in the appearance. Since that time, we had a light rain. No water puddles. But I will have them return to fill in with additional soil, once I have some additional landscaping work completed. All-in-all, I am very pleased with the outcome. Brandon and Shane have a professional style that makes a customer feel comfortable. I made the right choice using Mini-Backhoe Services, and I highly recommend the company."

"We hired FJP Services for both landscaping and do replace a retaining wall between 2 properties. So far, the company has done the retaining wall and they did a great job. The professional nature of the crew was tremendous. The craftmanship of the workers was also gratifying. If the other services we have hired FJP services are at the same level as the work on the retaining wall, we shall be very pleased."

"I consulted Angi for local landscapers and requested calls from two local companies. Pana Landscaping replied within minutes, and in two hours, Dan the owner came to our home to survey our projects and provide an estimate. We agreed and in less than 48 hours Dan's team of two landscapers arrived to do the work we proposed: remove the stone flower bed that was growing weeds and resod several areas of our lawn that were overfertilized by the last company working on our property. In short, the team of workers was efficient, professional, and did great work all in one day. Dan came at the beginning and completing of the projects to make sure all was running smoothly. Highly professional company and team. They all did terrific work that we are happy with, all at a reasonable price and speedy timeframe. Thank you, Dan and company, and we will be contacting you for future projects."

"Outstanding work by Kevin in a backyard tear out and redo of landscaping with new plantings, restoring and rebuilding pavers and repairing a French drain. Rebuilt our front porch as well. Total confidence in his choice of plantings and his work quality. One of the hardest working professionals I have met, always polite and focused on customer service. Punctuality, attention to detail and professionalism sets his work above others. Pricing is excellent."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

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.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.
