"Down South did a great job, it is nice to have a team that communicates so well. Jared helped through the whole process and kept everything transparent and when your building a home the is refreshing. Justin on the excavator also communicated well and did a great job. Thanks guys. We have another job coming up soon and you are the team we will be calling. Thank you again. Robert and Lisa"

"This was the easiest process. They checked what we wanted, made sure everyone working on it understood and the price they quoted came in under the original once they got into it. Will definitely be hiring these guys again for my next project!"

"Mike and his crew did my front and back yards from scratch. Communication was excellent and he collaborated well. Mike and his team were always on time, and left everything clean at the end of the day. They did retaining walls, pavers, planters, turf, drip, lighting, and waterfall. I spoke with atleast a dozen landscapers from St. George & Hurricane, glad I waited for Mike to do my job. My Wife and I are ecstatic!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.
