"If you’re looking for a contractor who’s fair, upfront, and someone who’s looking to go above and beyond, Brad is your guy. I hired him to take on a small project, cutting a hole in my foundation for an egress window. I’m fortunate enough to have a decent amount of experience in the trades and Brad’s pricing was fair and well priced. He was willing to help me with a smaller project that most contractors would pass on. I was surprised, he was extremely attentive and asked many questions to ensure that the job was done exactly how I wanted it. Before he started the job and charged me, he ensured that the window I had bought would fit correctly, that I had bought all the right materials to do the job after he made the cuts, and measured multiple times inside and outside prior to cutting. I felt very confident the job was going to go well and after everything it was perfect. He even made sure the window fit and I was satisfied. I can’t say enough good things about this guy."

"Mr. Blonquist did a very good job. He communicated well and his workmanship for this type of manufacturing was very good. He brought some good ideas to the project and I will hire him again. In fact, I have suggested my son use him for another project."

"These guys ROCK! They went above and beyond to get my project done in a timely manner. They installed a new sprinkling system, they graded my property and installed sod. Also, they did curbing, fixed my leaning retaining wall & installed gravel! Communication was spot on. My place looks fantastic! Can’t wait to plant stuff next spring. I highly recommend using them and would hire them again."

"Wow, we are so happy we went with Hancock Signatures for our new roof! They did an exceptional job (I didn't know a roof could actually look BEAUTIFUL but I think ours does!), they were timely and fit us in quickly even though I know they have a lot of other projects, they were professional and easy to communicate with. We will absolutely use them again."

"Carter with Terraform Groundworks was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him! He built a stunning rock retention wall in our backyard, and the results exceeded our expectations. Our yard presented some challenges, but Carter handled them seamlessly, showcasing his expertise and problem-solving skills. From start to finish, Carter was professional, kind, and incredibly hardworking. His project estimate was spot-on, and his attention to detail was evident in every aspect of his work. We were so impressed with the backyard transformation that we brought him back to upgrade our front yard as well, and once again, he delivered exceptional results. If you are considering an excavation or landscaping project, look no further Carter is the best choice. We could not be happier with his work and would absolutely hire him again!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.
