"I can?t begin to express what a wonderful experience it was working with these guys! They exceeded my expectations, and at a fair price. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and fast but detailed oriented. They listened to what I wanted, and gave helpful feedback to insure that my vision was created in the most cost effective way possible. They went above and beyond - I would recommend them to anyone! Both my father and sister work in different aspects of construction and were blown away with what they did. Don?t hesitate to reach out to them for all your grading and clearing needs. I had a bunch of storm damage from Helene, and site work that needed to be done prior to the actual grading (in two different places, on a small mountain at the SC/NC border). They did all of that, and used the wood chips and debris to help curb erosion. Super communicative, friendly, fair, and genuinely nice people. 10/10 experience!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.
