"I recently hired Coastal Castaways? to remove a large amount of junk and leftover building materials, and I couldn?t be happier with the experience. The team was extremely professional, quick to respond, and very efficient from start to finish. They showed up on time, worked fast, and completely transformed the space. Not only was their work amazing, but everyone on the team was also kind, respectful, and easy to work with. They made the whole process stress-free and went above and beyond to make sure everything was cleaned up perfectly. I highly recommend Coastal Castaways to anyone needing junk removal or cleanup services!"

"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."

"I cannot express enough how impressed I am with this company. Andrew and Midlands Home Renovations LLC are the ones you want to trust with your home. He could have taken shortcuts, but instead, he went above and beyond for my family and our home. Andrew is a family man and an exceptional contractor. He supported me and my family through a challenging time when our home suffered damages due to a small leaking shower valve. What's more, I was out of town on business while my wife and family were at home. Andrew promptly opened the flooring, assessed the damages, identified the source of our problems, and resolved them. He even discovered a pipe that a previous contractor assured me was fixed, yet it was still leaking under our home. Although it was not within the scope of work he initially signed up for, Andrew still fixed it to ensure there were no further leaks under our home. With over 10 years of experience in marketing and previous experience as a construction worker, I know the ins and outs of business and the effort involved. Trust me when I say THIS COMPANY IS THE ONE YOU WANT! Andrew, on behalf of my entire family, we sincerely thank you and your company for the outstanding work done. Great job, guys. We look forward to doing much more business with this company in the very near future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
