"We hired Justin & Jackie to update a home we just purchased. Little did I know the work that was needed to get rid of the popcorn ceilings, get new fixtures put in, paint and patch walls. The wait was worth it! The finished product was: smooth ceilings and a like new house! I was quick to seek Jackie’s opinion when I realized she had a knack for design. What a pleasant experience working with this husband and wife duo. They stand by their work and will grind it out until it’s done and done right!"

"Paul and Laura make a great team. She runs the office efficiently, is helpful, and kept me in the loop on every step of the process. Paul came out and spent the whole day clearing my property of huge amounts of dead wood, all the weeds and was extremely careful about the septic field and everything else in the property. Would definitely use them again in the future."

"The guys were on time and did an amazing job clearing land and disposing of debris on my property. I added a couple of little things that I needed done. The price was very fair and they were quick to get it done. I there was no riding the clock to run my bill up. I definitely would not use any one else."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

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

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.
