"Lee McCully cares highly about the work he does. I was comfortable in knowing the job was going to be done right and then some. Went above and beyond for me.Kept me informed every step, if an issue came up to change the original plan he was asking me what I wanted rather than hiding it like most companies. Will use again when I plan the next project. Great guy and glad I got to meet him."

"These gentlemen were professional and fast in completing my project. Even when I changed the specifications of the project, they were flexible and and accommodating. They were respectful of my property and made certain that the yard was left clean and in great condition. They even had suggestions as to other steps that I could take to make sure that my yard achieved the look that I desired. I would highly recommend Ace Basin Tree Services."

"There were issues with materials sourcing and Trey and Alex found alternatives that were better and less expensive. They have a good eye for design that aided in the execution of my plans. In other words, they were more than just builders, they could map out the plan very well to fit it in to my existing landscape. They were on time and under budget. They went above and beyond the scope of the project, including but not limited to remulching a huge area around the pathway they installed because the heavy equipment accidentally disturbed a small area. They could have just mulched the disturbed area, but they extended the mulch so that it blended with the existing mulch. I plan on hiring them to build a pond later this year. They were outstanding and by far the best contractors I have hired both on and off Angi. I have had major remodels in my house and outside in my pool and yard probably a dozen contractors in all. They are head and shoulders above the others. Thank you Angi."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.
