Dynamis is a Greek word associated with the synonyms: power, capability, and potentiality. We believe this term is integral to the way we serve our customers. Our problem solving and execution bring efficiencies that empower our customers to reach their goals. We have been in business since 1998 serving the commercial environmental, petroleum, and waste-water sectors. We have an extensive background in excavation. We are now taking that experience, service, and knowledge that our commercial clients have come to expect from us and expanding into residential/small business excavation.

"We are so pleased with our project of a new driveway. The guys did an awesome job creating a new driveway to connect to the original driveway; cut down numerous trees; hauled in many truck loads of gravel for the 1 mile driveway. Yisrael and Jade kept us informed the entire time on the project and even sent us pictures. We could not have asked for anything more and the quality of work was exceptional! This was a huge project. We will use them again in the near future for more work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.
