"Mark and crew demolished our unwanted in-ground pool and removed the surrounding concrete patio. The work was done with skill and efficiency. He and his team were punctual and diligently accomplished the job beyond exceptions. My wife and I found him to be a pleasure to work with and a true professional. We highly recommend Bared Rock Group."

"Bill did an awesome job on my project. The retaining wall looks great. It looks strong and pleasing to the eye. I should have no more trouble with erosion. The plants and sod he supplied were beautiful and healthy. Even the rocks he put down look good. I am so pleased with the finished project. Bill was patient and worked with me to get all of my problems resolved. I will definitely hire him for my next project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

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.
