"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

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
