"Great job and service! We had a emergency and needed somebody there asap. We had other contractors that couldn't do their job until the dirt Hillside was removed . He was there within the hour! Got the job done quick and efficiently and the other contractor was able to get started. Thanks for all your help!!!"

"I hired BH for a large project (>22$K) to dig out around 28 by 48 garage, remove at least a ~half dozenâ large (>30â diameter) hardwood stumps and felled timber, and build large parking area. BH has the services of several very talented workers who listened to what I wanted and were able to use their knowledge of grading, etc. to make it all come together. The finished project is way better than what I had envisioned going in. The only â problemâ we ran into was a company (that I will not name) that charged $900 more than what they quoted on the rental of a large 50K# rock hammer - oh well, guess that is on rental company who will not be getting return business, IIn summay, yes I would highly recommend BH: A+++ !"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.
