"Mark Hendrickson returned my call promptly, and came to my house that afternoon to look over the site and to give me an estimate and a time frame. On the day of the job, he arrived right on time and had made arrangements with another company to have my septic pumped out, prior to the repair work. Even though this was a relatively small job, Mark and his son who works with him, were professional and polite through the whole process. The cost was $300 for the actual repair and digging and $300 to have the septic pumped out. I would not hesitate to use Mark Hendrickson Excavating again, they were great to work with!"

"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."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pana Landscaping did an outstanding job! They removed several rose bushes, planted a beautiful weeping cherry tree, and added stone around my front lawn, under my back porch steps, and other areas of my property. The crew arrived early, was professional, courteous, and got right to work. They even improved a few areas we hadn't discussed, which exceeded my expectations. Excellent workmanship and attention to detail. I highly recommend Pana Landscaping!"

"They responded quickly, came out to assess the project and provide an estimate within a few days. Once I agreed to the estimate, my project was completed the following week. I was especially impressed by their service considering my project was not hugeâ ¦..just repairing a pre-existing stone wall. I had received calls from other contractors who werenâ t interested in a small project."

"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

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.
