"I recently had the pleasure of working with Ladder 5 Fencing and Land Clearing, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. They came out to help clear some trees, complete some road work, and build a privacy fence, and I’m extremely satisfied with the professionalism and quality of their work. Overall, I would highly recommend Ladder 5 Fencing and Land Clearing. Their team was punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to ensure everything was done to my satisfaction. I’ll definitely reach out to them again for any future projects."

"I needed a 40x40 area leveled and made ready for a shop. This guy worked his butt off to make it perfect. He tolerated me bird dogging him and didn’t seem to be bothered by it. Job got done faster than I thought it would, looks better than some other work I have seen, and if your like me and wonder where “customer service” has gone to in this new day and age we live in… Look no further, Dirty Works is old school when it comes to customer care service. I really feel like they put me first and really paid attention to my needs. Thank you guys. Keep up the good work. I’ll be calling again soon."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.
