"We were having issues with water retention. After looking over the area, we decided to remove about 4 inches of dirt around the house grading down as it went. This made a moat that emptied into the ditch. We also had two mounds of dirt moved, a decline added to the back porch and an area scraped and leveled for our beehives. Price was fair and work was excellent. "

Family owned business with over 30 years of experience handling all your Concrete needs- commercial and residential- patios, sidewalks, driveways, grading, excavation, land clearing, retaining walls, saw cutting, iron work.

"FELIP and Sr. Velazquez are amazing! FELIP responded to my inquiry immediately, and he and his father came out to discuss my project the same day. They scheduled me quickly and did a beautiful, professional job. They took extra care smoothing and leveling the concrete, removing excess dirt and rock, and cleaning up afterward. I especially liked their attention to details. I would absolutely recommend them for any job, large or small!"

"Francesca was prompt for our first meeting. She listened to what I wanted, and she was great at designing something that would make the most of the small space in my yard. Her explanations were thorough, and she continues to be extremely responsive, answering VERY quickly. The process of getting started is moving quickly, as well."

From material spreading, digging mid-size or small trenches, tree planting, dirt loosening, pasture mowing (large or small), skid-steer or anything that needs a hole (post holes as well) dug down to 6 feet deep.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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

The cost to drill a well ranges, but for a well that’s roughly 150 feet deep, you could spend approximately $5,500. However, prices can fluctuate substantially due to factors like geological conditions, local regulations, and variations in drilling methods. For a more precise quote tailored to your location, research local well-drilling professionals in your area.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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.
