"The project consisted of excavating, installing a retaining wall, and grading the lawn following installation. Nick was prompt and thorough - often going beyond the original scope of the project to see that we got the best possible results. He is very knowledgeable making good suggestions and thoroughly explaining the pros and cons of the various options. Would definitely use again."

"Kevin (the owner) and his team were extremely helpful in helping me get my land cleared. I had no idea what I was doing, and he made insightful suggestions that allowed me to make an informed decision with the specifics. Kevin made sure to ask me questions that helped me let him know exactly what I was looking for and needed. I will definitely use them in the future for future projects as well as recommend to my friends."

"Pete & his crew took our extremely sloped, wet yard, and created a dry, level area that is perfect for us. We never thought the yard could or would look this good, but Pete has a great vision and also has the ability to make it into a reality. Pete is honest, and exceeded our expectations. We could not say enough about the positive experience we had with Pete & his crew. Highly recommend."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.
