"We hired On Grade Construction to pour a new patio and extend our driveway, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Brad showed up on time, walked us through the process before starting, and clearly knew what he was doing — proper forming, good base prep, and clean control joints so we shouldn't see random cracking down the line. They cleaned up thoroughly afterward — no leftover concrete chunks or forms left in the yard — and the whole job was finished on the timeline they quoted. Pricing was The finish looks great. Even surface, clean edges, no weird lippage or trowel marks anywhere. They also got the slope right so water runs away from the house instead of sitting there. Cleanup was solid too — didn't leave a mess of concrete scraps or old forms lying around. Job got done on the timeline they promised, and the price matched the quote (no random extra charges tacked on). If you need concrete work done right, these guys are worth calling. We'd use them again."

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

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 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.

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.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.
