"Excellent job! Mr. Hicks is very safety oriented and obviously has years of experience operating. From the excavation to the finishing touches and leveling the gravel, it could not have gone better. I will definitely be calling him again and I highly recommend him for whatever you’re needing from excavation, clearing, he even put in a new spillway and raised the water level on my pond. Thanks again sir."

"I hired Mr. Hagen and his team to clear a little over 10 acres and fix a pond dam for me. I am happy to say I was so pleased with the results. They were awesome at communicating and providing details and updates of the work they were doing. My land has never looked better!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
