Our specialties, however not limited to include pool installations and renovations, residential and commercial demo, land clearing and grading, excavation, concrete masonry, and hardscapes. As we always say "If you can conjure it, we can build it!" Call us today to discuss your next project!

"Usually when you hire a contractor, you hope and pray that they will complete the job according to specs and do it with respect and care. Not only did Shovel Kings complete our job and fulfill our vision, their work completely exceeded all expectations. Also, the modifications they suggested opened our eyes to unimaginable possibilities! While they weren’t the cheapest quote that we got, we are thrilled with the results and know they will stand behind their work. This is by far the largest job we’ve ever contracted and we were very nervous. I am happy to report this is the first large job where we received good value for our investment and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They were wonderful to work with and addressed all of our questions and concerns with old school honor and respect. Well done, Jordan family!! ?? **Please contact Shovel Kings if you would like to see the end result. We are happy to show it off!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.
