"I was very happy with their work, they installed a drain and a sprinkler system along with putting in a palm tree for us. Also installed a fence for us. Mr Fernandez was attentive to our needs and wants. They were at our home as promised and professionally did the work and was done in 2 days. I will have them back for more projects in the future. Very happy customer. Thank you again !!"

"Be prepared that while it is not inexpensive, the job is completed correctly and looks like it will hold up. They had to dig out the old and replaced with much deeper hole and this one has a lining. This is a 2 level water fall and stone looks great with color of house and surrounding area. This was all completed by hand no machine digging as there was not space. Thank you, Garden of Eva."

"They worked day and night. The project was estimated to be 5-7 days and that is how long it was. Got cold and rainy but they still kept working. My overgrown front woods was a challenging job. A lot of mud a lot of equipment got stuck and had to be pulled out. Very reliable and hard working. Thanks guys."

"Chris was very professional he did many projects for us, painted a shed leveled some land, dug up some Earth, moved a lots of rock and removed mulch. He did whatever we needed him to do and even gave us good suggestions , that were better than we planned. He was very hardworking and had a very pleasant attitude. We were always very pleased with his work and he always kept things very clean. We are hoping to get him to do other projects in the future!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
