"Colt’s property service has done multiple projects for me and has done a good job with all of them. Most recently he regraded underneath my deck. And replaced the old footings. It was very tight and tricky to get a machine in, but he managed with no problems. Would definitely recommend going forward."

"Josh at Northwestern was very reliable and installed my block retaining wall and related landscaping including stone top soil plants shrubs resulting in a quality finished product. And the best part is that there was no resulting damage to my driveway and lawn when using the mini-excavator because Josh took the necessary precautions. I am very pleased. I highly recommend Northwestern!"

"We heard & read great reviews about Larry miller const. He did a ton of work on our home. He started with removing cement block walls in the interior of our home to expand our d/r & l/r. Drywalled the entire homes ceilings from a all drop type ceilings. He dry walled & painted the entire home. He built 3 closets throughout the home, installed vinyl plank flooring throughout our home. he then completely disassembled a 12x24 existing sun room from the house & erected it on a new trex deck that he attached to our existing pool along with a 40'x5' stone retaining wall aside of sunroom. After removing the sunroom he built a 24x12 cathedral ceiling bedroom where the sunroom once stood. we made tons of changes as we went through construction and it was as Larry would say "not a problem" & say "we expect this to happen during such a huge project". His work was impeccable & we are very happy with all his construction and the whole crew was so cordial throughout the project. They have all become friends, not just workers. Jeff & sue Schappell"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
