"I had ABS come out to clean up and refresh our backyard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their quote was very reasonable compared to other options we considered, and they were extremely responsive throughout the entire process. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and did a fantastic job clearing everything out and laying pine straw. The attention to detail really made a difference, and the yard looks better than it has in years. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that provides great communication, fair pricing, and high-quality work, I highly recommend ABS. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future."

"We have hired Joel at Leatherneck Land Clearing to complete multiple projects around our homestead and couldn’t have been happier with the outcomes! We originally contracted them to assist with clearing and grading a section of land to build a 40’ x 60’ building. Throughout the process he was extremely patient with us as we changed our mind more than once on the location of the building site due to unforeseen circumstances and even helped guide us to achieve the best outcome possible. We were so pleased, we hired him again shortly after to thin and mulch a few acres of overgrown woods on the property and it completely transformed the landscape. We have recommended them to family and friends and will definitely be hiring them again in the future to help with more around our property. If you need quality work done, they are not only affordable but extremely communicative and I truly am glad we found them!"

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality landscaping services"

"Sway is very conscientious. He arrived early every day, prepped well for all the popcorn ceiling removal and painting. Each day he cleaned his work area. Best part of him is his positive attitude and communication with me if he had questions ( before he took action!). Reasonably priced and I will use his services again when needed."

"Great service! Nick came out and inspected my issue with poor drainage in my front yard near my front steps. He proposed his plan for a drain to me and gave me a very reasonable quote for the work. I agreed to the work and we called the city to have the yard marked to do the work. The city was slow to respond and Nick stepped in and escalated with the city and got that taken care of. As soon as the yard was marked, Nick was here within a few days and completed the job in 3 hours. Everything was done professionally and we have had no drainage issues at all since he did the work. I would highly recommend Drain My Lawn! Wayne McClellan"

"SHS Construction built us a screened in back porch 12 years ago when the company was new. Excellent work and workman back then. Wanted to remodel our master bathroom & once again called on SHS Construction. They have only gotten better! Quality work, professional workmen, easy communication with contractor and on-site checks by him throughout project. Have worked with contractors when living in other states and SHS is by far the best. Highly recommend SHS for value, workmanship and knowledge."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
