"It went great. Kevin is an 'owner operator' so I don't have to deal with a guy disconnected from the work coming it to check in once in a blue moon. He does stuff the right way. He communicates amazingly, we had some small 'additions' to the project that were fairly priced and didn't go much beyond the original quote (few hundred bucks on a 10k+ job). Also, these additions were caused by poor workmanship of my hardscapes company I had earlier, Kevin's team rebuilt part of their wall, re-supported the coping in one corner, and added a low retaining wall to the edge of the patio to keep the pavers from falling out into the yard (yes, previous company just had pavers end to grass with a plastic mulch bed edge holding in the patio). I was referred to Kevin through a neighbor and he has also completed a fairly large job at my neighbors house since (similar work to mine)."

"We couldn't be happier with the results. The owner took the time to explain the process and made sure the driveway was graded correctly. The workmanship was excellent! The owner was fantastic to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about doing the job right. Since the project was completed, we've had multiple heavy rainstorms, and the driveway has stayed exactly as it should; no erosion, no washouts, and no standing water. It's clear they know how to build a driveway that lasts. We highly recommend this company."

"We cannot say enough about our positive experience with this company! We have zero complaints about their work. Our house is especially challenging, due to previous faulty construction work. None of that presented problems these folks couldn't deal with. When we removed the existing floor and walls in our kitchen, we found complete structural failure - frightening! Every recommendation they gave us we agreed to and couldn't be happier. They really looked out for us! We did not know them prior to hiring them but consider them friends now. We have complete respect for and trust in them. I truly hope we never need to renovate anything again, but, if we do, we won't call anyone else!! - T&J"

"These are two of the nicest, most professional young men I have met in a long while. They worked very hard on this project, kept the yard neat and I was so pleased with the results. I will hire them again in the fall to do my planting and mulching. Can't say enough good things!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

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.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
