"They built a large carport that is very large and stout. They went out of their way to make it extra heavy duty. The welding is exceptionally clean with good beads. Everything was done square and level. I plan on having them do more work for me in the future. They were very professional and enjoyable to be around. I would highly recommend them if you need any kind of metal structure built."

"I had a branch arching over my roof and it would rub against the roof and hit a satellite dish when it got really windy, so I really needed it to be taken care of. Randall came over to give an estimate and was able to get it done same day. He not only took care of that branch, but also cut off a branch that was dying and even did some trimming on other trees I had for a very reasonable price. He even hauled everything off when he was done. Highly recommend! Forgot to take before photos, but you can tell how long the branch was to reach all the way to the satellite dish on my roof."

"This company is the greatest. They installed a complete new septic system for me while I was gone. They treated my wife extremely well, they worked well into the night by tractor light just to get the job completed. If anyone need a septic service these are the people to have do the work. The price was fair and not surprises. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM."

"Kris did a fantastic job clearing and leveling my lot as well as (at my request) constructing a wall, which was a little out his comfort zone at first but in the end the results were amazing. I would 100% hire him again. He was professional and had great communication throughout the duration of the project. His pricing was competitive and I can tell he takes pride in his work. Before we started the project Kris told me he wont leave the site until I am satisfied and he delivered on that promise."

"Highly knowledgeable in the several different species of trees on our property. He knew exactly how much to trim and how much to leave intact on each tree to improve its appearance and safeguard its health. He worked non-stop through 105+ deg temperatures and finished the job in a single day. Other tree companies estimated 3 and 4 days to accomplish what he did in 1 day. His estimate came hundreds of dollars below those of his competitors, and we could not be more pleased with the money we paid him. His skill, professionalism, and work ethic impressed us deeply."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

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.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
