"We definitely recommend A Perfect Finish. The owner (Mark) was present during the entire process. He was careful with details and expected only the best work from his team. He had a strong relationship with his staff, who he had been working with for years; We loved Sean, David and Jeff as they were each perfectionists in their own regard and even worked into the evening (asking me if it was okay to do so) when they felt it was needed . They even fixed my back gate and my garage door opener which were inoperable!! A Perfect Finish went "above and beyond the call of duty!" They. also offered competitive pricing. (In ground pool remodel). My pool is now GORGEOUS! We liked them so well that we have hired them for another project!"

"Very professional. They removed a dead tree that the builders planted on top of concrete. They removed the concrete which was unknown to exist until they pulled the old tree up and didn't charge me for the extra time spent. Excellent work. Would definitely recommend. Juan was a nice guy and very knowledgeable of landscaping."

"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."

"Epic Lawn Service evaluated my fixes: removed the 7ft. stump of a 90 year oak tree, filled in the hole and smoothed the earth to match the yard around it, repaired 30 ft. of chain link fence, raked up leaves scattered around the house and on the roof. Epic Lawn finished the job on time and with care. Terrific Team!"

"Hired him to scoop a hole out for my pool. Very satisfied with the timeliness of the project being completed in preparation for my pool guys to come fill the hole. My dog is absolutely obsessed and so am I. Would hire again for any other demo or excavation projects I might have! 5 star"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
