"Rick and his crew did a great job removing our old gunite pool. The communication was great, and he responded promptly even on weekends through text- and they were flexible with timing around the other exterior projects we had going on. VERY reasonable pricing compared to the other bids we received."

"We heard about Nathaniel from a family member last year. We needed to get our side-yards raised and graded due to erosion. Nathaniel was extremely informative in helping us choose the best solution. We asked for a quote on sod initially, but Nathaniel educated us on a longer-lasting solution. We ended up going with stones, pavers, mulch, and ground covers to completely transform the sides of our house. He even offered to come back and check up on the finished product and teach us how to properly maintain our yard. Free quotes, education, competitive pricing, and follow-ups definitely set Nathaniel apart from the rest! He is a pleasure to work with and extremely flexible and understanding!"

"Gil and his crew took care of all our needs. Tilled bare spots, added enriched topsoil, laid sod, rolled finished sod, tore down junk behind fence, added sprinkler head, checked all sprinklers to ensure full coverage, collected live oak leaves from front yard, etc. We couldn’t be happier."

"We are very Thankful for Mr. Gerardo of Texas Green Leaf Construction! One of our shower walls was failing from the weight of the door and was very dangerous. None the companies we contacted would even quote the small job. Mr. Gerardo came in person and reinforced the wall, reinstalled the door and even painted the wall where he had opened up the drywall to add studs. It is now stronger than it ever was and looks like it never happened. All this in one day. He did this himself while his crew was on another larger job. We are very grateful and highly recommend him !!!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

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.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.
