"I hired Devin to weld a custom pipe fence for my backyard in Van, Texas, and he absolutely crushed it! From the first call to the finished product, Devin was professional, on time, and a true craftsman. He listened carefully to what I wanted, gave great suggestions, and the welding work is flawless—super strong, clean beads, and the fence looks amazing. It’s sturdy enough to keep the dogs in but still has that clean, modern look that fits the yard perfectly. He even cleaned up the site better than I expected and made sure everything was exactly right before he left. If you need any welding or fencing done, Devin is the guy to call. 100% recommend—five stars all the way! Thanks Devin!"

So appreciative he did the job for me."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
