"The job was done in a timely manner. They were quick and did exactly what was requested. I showed up to the house to pay and they were all professional and busy cleaning the area they had worked in. Very happy with how fast they were able to get this project done. When I had returned the areas were cleaned and raked and it looked as if no one had been there."

"We recently hired Price Peak Services to perform some basic landscape services and we are very pleased with the results. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They provided a clear, detailed estimate and stuck to it throughout the project. The workers were incredibly professional and punctual. Additionally, they made sure to clean up the workspace before leaving. The quality of their craftsmanship is outstanding, and our yard looks completely transformed. I highly recommend Price Peak Services to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled labor contractor!""

"We called Precision excavation in hopes to get our 5 acres cleared and graded before having a new fence put in, Daniel the owner was amazing to work with, he gave us fast responses, came out the next day for a free estimate, and really took care of and listened to what or view was for our yard. He was so informative and let us know exactly what we needed to get our yard looking amazing! Not only did he complete the tasks we were looking for but also helped us drill holes for new fencing to be put in, Thank you so much to Daniel and Precision Excavating for giving our home a new beautiful look and keeping us under our budget on the project we highly value your business and will recommend all to use your services!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

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.
