Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large, or small, the job.

"I hired Brian to remodel my bathroom and laundry room. His quote was slightly lower than others, and he seemed trustworthy. He repeatedly assured me we were on schedule, so I didn?t question short workdays, missing crew, or added tasks. In the final week, it became clear the project was behind and over budget. Despite asking multiple times, the water heater wasn?t installed. Instead, time was wasted installing a vanity that had to be removed anyway. He promised to return the next week to install the water heater but didn?t show. When he finally did, it was just to collect more money and retrieve his work lights. We had to install the water heater ourselves. The work done has issues: blistered drywall, a creaky shower, uneven flooring, among others. I was also promised an itemized invoice that never came. If you choose to hire him, get all promises in writing and request detailed cost breakdowns. I ultimately felt misled and taken advantage of."

"Despite wet weather and a steep slope, Hunter and helper got it done. Lowest bid by far. Yard is cleaner that I thought possible, and they bunched the usable firewood where I can get at it to cut and split. Lots of big, old trees here, and I will call them first."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.  

The cost to dig a trench ranges from $400 to $1,200 per 100 linear feet, depending on the soil, depth, and width. Plan to spend $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching (it’ll be on the higher end if you have rocky soil). Renting a trencher costs $100 to $250 per hour, depending on the type of trencher. 

Trenching is not the same as boring. Boring uses a drill to make a tunnel for underground utilities, but trenching involves digging with an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. Boring is more precise and expensive, and it’s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.
