"My first experience with Curtis/Spartan Excavating during the vetting process was absolutely incredible. As soon as I submitted an inquiry through Home Advisor, within 3 minutes, Curtis called me right away to discuss our project. We needed a rather large residential project completed. The materials we needed are below. 70 loads of 11-yard trucks of dirt 30 tons of crusher run (gravel) 70' of 36" HDPE culvert pipes Just from the materials we needed, you can tell that this is a large residential project. Curtis was able to help us in it's entirety from beginning to end. He didn't take any breaks either!! The minute we were on the phone, he was able to explain in great detail of how he would complete the job. So we scheduled a time to meet with him. We had 2 companies come out before Spartan Excavating and let me tell you - Curtis/Spartan Excavating is the guy you want to hire. The 2 companies that we vetted prior did not want to help with measuring, estimating, or calculating. Spartan Excavating was the ONLY one that did this. He stayed out for about 1-2 hours at our site to help us figure out OUR plan. He even helped us figure out how to complete other projects that we have on our mind!! Curtis from Spartan Excavating will tell you if he does not know - he does not pretend to think he knows everything. He will tell you what jobs he is comfortable with to ensure that he can deliver quality. He definitely DID NOT let us down - he stands true to his beliefs on what he can deliver. He understands the business so well and will help you understand something if you're not familiar with it! There's no need to "babysit" Curtis/Spartan Excavating as your contractor because when he says he can do it - he means it. The level of quality in his work is absolutely incredible. We look to have him as our main contractor for all site related work! Thank you for delivering the work as described!"

"The individual was so polite! We had a small conversation but at no time was demanding or beating around the bush. I told him my past experiences with my lawn so we came into an agreement. It was that simple. He quickly went and got his equipment and went at it!! He told me what he was going to do and he did that exactly. In the end, he took me around and showed me his work. I was very pleases and I would definitely get him again if I can!! Great guy and service!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
