"Montes Construction put in a walkway for me. They answered all my questions and guaranteed that I would be highly satisfied with the end result. I was. Pricing was fair and the personnel were very proficient in what they were doing. End result was a fantastic looking walkway completed in just a few days."

"I cannot say enough about how INCREDIBLE Jose & Ary Caloca are! I took a gamble hiring them for my flooring project since they didn’t have any reviews yet, and I am HONORED to be their first! I submitted a quote request on Angi and Jose called me right away, came out the same morning, and gave me an extremely reasonable quote. He and Ary started the job the very next day and worked tirelessly to finish the project quickly, on budget, and most importantly, with impeccable results and attention to detail. They went above and beyond every step of the way, and even left my house more clean and organized than they found it. I simply can’t recommend them enough. They are hard workers and very good, honest people. I’ve already asked Jose to quote me for other projects I’ve been putting off around my home. It is so valuable to have a good contractor that you can trust. I would recommend Home Pro 915 to anyone (and I’ve already started telling all my friends about them!)"

Excavating questions, 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.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.
