"Excellent customer service, came at all scheduled appointments. Impeccable work ethic and knowledge. John, Mike and Lou are all men of integrity. As contractors you rarely see this today in this industry. Installed a paver walkway and redesigned my entire yard with fresh mulch, perennials and shrubs. I would have appreciated an option to upload photos for you all to see. Will never use another company again for this type of work other than JRM. Do not hesitate to contact them for help. I thank you all very much!! Tony"

"Recommended by Home Advisor, Cary was the one and only contractor who responded, and that was in a matter of days. He came when he said he would, looked at my front yard, which had been mangled by another person who shall remain nameless, and promised he could re-grade and re-seed my lawn, which at that time was full of weeds. He came the NEXT DAY, with Ryan and his beautiful dog, Bentley, took out the weeds, graded the lawn with fresh loam, then re-seeded. He and Ryan also put in a great new concrete walkway! All I need to do now is water every day and wait for my grass to grow! It's beautiful already, considering what it was. Thank you, Cary, you kept your word, did a phenomenal job at a reasonable price, and cleaned up well, too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

"Anthony was very professional and clear on what was going to take place. Anthony and his crew arrived on schedule and completed the replacement of the broken sewer main in one day. No mess was left, grounds were smoothed out and ready for new lawn! Anthony's wife is very nice to talk to and takes care of any communication needed. My husband and I would highly recommend this company."

"This was the best landscape design experience I could have ever imagined. They were prompt, professional, and committed. Provided a creative draft of the project, took time to consider my thoughts and ideas, they were very knowledgeable of the plants and trees in the area and what would be the best for my project and property. They had professional assistance to preform the work. The materials they used were quality and the finish project came out just like I expected. Actually even better."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.
