"I had Pete do several things for me. First he laid a concrete foundation for my home, then installed a septic system, next he ran water and electric lines to the home. After the home was delivered, I had him paint the entire inside of the home, he also installed the skirting as well. Everything come out exactly as I wanted. Pete does a great job and is very professional. He is busy so it may take a couple days before he can get started but once he does, he works hard and fast. His quality of work is top notch."

"We were very pleased with the finished job, the house looks almost new again! The initial estimate came in much lower than other bids, and even though it did end up costing more than originally planned by the time it was all over, this was only because we were so pleased with the work that we kept adding more and more things to the list! These were not your average interior painters- they also had a construction background, so were able to take care of many other lingering projects we needed to work on while they were there. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing just about any kind of work done on their home. Excellent work!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.
