Let my equipment and knowledge of property maintenance take the hard work out of your project. I own and operate my Equipment and take pride in my work! I have been working in this industry since I was in my early teens, I have a passion for fixing problems and making people happy! With my equipment I can bring in fill dirt, rock or whatever type of soil you need by the truck load. I can level or grade your yard using precision technology to make sure it's at an accurate grade to prevent flooding areas and keep the water flowing away from your property just depending on the application. I do demolition work with my excavator and skid steer. I do haul offs as well with the overwhelming amount of debris left over. I trench for plumbing or electrical piping or to manipulate flood flow, tree trimming to complete tree removal including stumps also palm tree trimming. If you need the footings for a foundation excavated and accurately leveled for the structure or home you're wanting to build, I have the equipment and the technology to do it right! I am an honest man and I take pride in my work and it speaks for itself. My company is fully insured so you can have peace of mind the job will get done as it should. Give me a call and I can give you a free estimate site on scene at a scheduled time.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. 

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Trenching is not the same as boring. Boring uses a drill to make a tunnel for underground utilities, but trenching involves digging with an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. Boring is more precise and expensive, and it’s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.
