"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."

"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 rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

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.

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.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.
