"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."

"Rob and Preston installed a new sprinkler system in my yard. They were very professional and thorough during the initial walk-through and bid. They were excellent at communicating when they would be on site, what work would be done. Additionally, they continually kept me apprised progress and of any minor changes that were required due to unanticipated obstacles. Prior to commencing, Rod met with the city to make sure that everything met code. This illustrated a high level of professionalism. After the work was completed, they cleaned up everything very well and walked me through the system, educating me on the controller, filter, zones, coverage, etc. When dealing with contractors, I HIGHLY VALUE TRUST. THEY INDEED EARNED MINE. I highly recommend their services to anyone."

"This company has been amazing to work with. Matt and Seth were so attentive to all of my needs and were willing to do absolutely everything I asked them to. This was not, by any means, an easy remodel, and I am beyond thrilled about how it turned out. They certainly went above and beyond in everything they did. I literally have my dream bathroom, thanks to them. I would highly recommend Peaking Engineering and Construction."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
