"I hired Brad (On Grade Construction) because his bid was thorough and detailed. My job necessitated the removal of a lot of tree roots, which he did methodically and painstakingly. He had the perseverance and all the necessary equipment to do the job as thoroughly as I had hoped. For the most part Brad is a one man show so he is the guy who is there on the job, doing the labor, answering questions and making suggestions. He was approachable and easy to talk to. I like that. For the same reason, the job took a little longer than I might have hoped in the beginning, but the end product is well done and completely satisfactory. Brad is forthright in explaining his costs and rates, and was honest in deducting costs when they turned out to be less than he had anticipated. The actual price of my finished job was slightly less than his original bid. Brad was honest, hard-working, and I am very pleased with my new curb, gutter and sidewalks."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

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.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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. 

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
