"We hired J&S Construction remodeling to repair a shed roof, steps to our wooden porch, and to install a railing on our front porch steps. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. He did a great job and quickly. We were working within a time frame and appreciate him accomplishing everything in under 3 days. His estimate for the repairs was affordable and on par with the other estimates we received. We will be hiring J&S again in the future. * I tried uploading photos but it says the file size is too large."

"We hired blackwater construction to get our property ready to build our home. We messaged them for a quote and they got back to us the same day. They came out with in the week gave us a fantastic quote on all the work we needed. We had them clear our property of trees, grade our land to get it ready for the foundation, they even prepped and graveled our driveway. They did such a great job that we even hired them a few weeks later to fix our run off water issues. They were super fast, knowledgeable. They were the cleanest crew we had during the entire build. They went above and beyond to make our dreams come true."

"Jose was excellent. Highly recommend. Was timely professional and the job was great. I needed weeding mulching bush trimming and some older mature plants replaced. He also buried a drain pipe on the side of my home that was exposed. I was very pleased and will use him again."

"Trustworthy, professional, on time, great communication, wonderful work ethic, cared about doing quality work at a fair price, went above and beyond to do an excellent job of cleaning old burned down barn debris, removed old tires, dug up old patio remains of half-buried bricks, particleboard and carpets, and then leveled the areas by raking and mowing to beautify and complete the job I would hire this company again and again, and I recommend them to everyone."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.
