"We heard about Nathaniel from a family member last year. We needed to get our side-yards raised and graded due to erosion. Nathaniel was extremely informative in helping us choose the best solution. We asked for a quote on sod initially, but Nathaniel educated us on a longer-lasting solution. We ended up going with stones, pavers, mulch, and ground covers to completely transform the sides of our house. He even offered to come back and check up on the finished product and teach us how to properly maintain our yard. Free quotes, education, competitive pricing, and follow-ups definitely set Nathaniel apart from the rest! He is a pleasure to work with and extremely flexible and understanding!"

"Mark and his crew were great! We removed an old deck and spa from our backyard. They demolished the wood, concrete and fiberglass as well as hauling off and cleaning up behind themselves. You would have never known any demo work had happened if you weren’t there watching. Highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
