"We had several trees removed and had a wonderful experience with this business. The communication with the owner was clear and open. He and his crew came exactly when expected. They were very professional and their clean up was meticulous. In addition to this, their prices were reasonable. I will definitely be using D.I.R.T. in the future and recommend others to do the same."

"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

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

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.

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.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
