"The quality of the work and responsiveness were top notch. It has been a pleasure doing business with Creative Bobcat Concepts; Cory is extremely honest, hard working, very knowledgeable about excavation best practices, and provides very reasonable and fair pricing. Within hours of my request for quotation, Cory drove 1 ½ hours to examine the work necessary, provided a quotation the next day, and completed the job in a timely manner within the highest standards of quality. Thank you Cory, Creative Bobcat Concepts has my highest personal recommendation."

"Smoky Top Contractor is a great crew! I needed some land cleared and concrete poured for a house. They moved quickly from the process of quoting, doing the job, and cleaning up! They are very fairly priced as well. I will definitely be giving them a call for my next project !"

"Fanel American Pavers did a great job. I highly recommend this company. They arrived on the same day to provide me with an estimate to correct a couple of areas where settling of the marble pavers had settled over time. They arrived the next morning as planned and went right to work. The finished work looks great. The guys that did the work knew what they were doing and left the work area just as clean as when they arrived. Quality work, on time, on budget, clean area and good communication. I would definitely call them again and would recommend to neighbors and friends."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
