"Blackburn Construction was great to work with. My neighbor and I had a difficult riverbank repair on a steep slope along the Cumberland River after a previous contractor left a mess (putting it lightly). Trentt, the owner, called me back first thing in the morning and came out the very next day—despite pouring rain—to walk the site and provided a fair quote. He and his crew were professional, friendly, and did an excellent job rebuilding both riverbanks, stacking the stone with care so it looks great as well as secure. The work was so well done that I asked them to add a retaining wall and gutter drainage for extra protection. They showed up on time and finished before the river level rose. Highly recommend them!"

"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)."

"Ken and his coworker finished the job in 90 minutes! I absolutely love how it turned out. He is so friendly and patient with my questions. Ken gave me some advice on what to use to keep my garden beautiful. I would definitely recommend Noble Landscaping and Construction if you're looking to beautify your yard."

"The company came out quick checked out my problem and issues with water ponding in my yard and going on my patio and into my crawl space, the company came out a couple of days later and started the work, it was quick efficient and it was done correctly. The team was very respectful they cleaned up at the end of their day, and came back the next day to complete their job! Everyone was A1! Everything looks fantastic, so when it rains the water can go where it belongs down the the hill and not under my house and hanging out pooling in my yard making a muddy mess! The equipment, and the tech they used was Top Notch, very professional. Money well spent! Now me and my family can enjoy our patio without wearing rubber boots to get to Our Deck under a patio cover. Great job Yaardvark landscape Management company!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

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.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.
