"Simply put, they are The Best. Responded right away, helped with my vision for several projects that included brickwork (beautifully done!) around front beds, new cedar fence and gate and old fence removal, and most importantly a flower garden to memorialize my husband. They completed all of that in record time and for a really great price. Xavier and his Awesome Crew will get whatever job you have done, with care, communication and professionalism."

"Britt Holland was professional, courteous and proved the person for the job. We had numerous problems with our plumbing from the previous plumber. Britt repaired all the issues and found other issues that would have caused problems. His work was great and no further issues. He’s the guy I will call immediately for any plumbing problem. Great job"

"Cheryl was great to work with. Very professional and responsive and I would definitely hire again and/or recommend to friends and family. Rated "good" on punctuality because of a little delay in getting all the debris picked up."

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.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.
