"The job was done in a timely manner. They were quick and did exactly what was requested. I showed up to the house to pay and they were all professional and busy cleaning the area they had worked in. Very happy with how fast they were able to get this project done. When I had returned the areas were cleaned and raked and it looked as if no one had been there."

"We recently hired Price Peak Services to perform some basic landscape services and we are very pleased with the results. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They provided a clear, detailed estimate and stuck to it throughout the project. The workers were incredibly professional and punctual. Additionally, they made sure to clean up the workspace before leaving. The quality of their craftsmanship is outstanding, and our yard looks completely transformed. I highly recommend Price Peak Services to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled labor contractor!""

"We called Precision excavation in hopes to get our 5 acres cleared and graded before having a new fence put in, Daniel the owner was amazing to work with, he gave us fast responses, came out the next day for a free estimate, and really took care of and listened to what or view was for our yard. He was so informative and let us know exactly what we needed to get our yard looking amazing! Not only did he complete the tasks we were looking for but also helped us drill holes for new fencing to be put in, Thank you so much to Daniel and Precision Excavating for giving our home a new beautiful look and keeping us under our budget on the project we highly value your business and will recommend all to use your services!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
