"Hired Forever Excavating after getting several quotes. The job was to prep for a large patio, excavation for a French drain, and to do some re-grading in my backyard. They offered very competitive pricing and are a small, local, veteran owned and operated company so I decided to go with them and I couldn't be happier with the results. The project was completed on time and on budget. My family and I look forward to enjoying our new yard and will absolutely be hiring Forever Excavating for any future projects we may need accomplished."

"Rick is professional, solutions-oriented and easy to work with. He completed the work (a front deck removal and addition) as promised and on time. The work required some creativity and Rick worked with us to determine the best solution. Overall we are very pleased with his work and will look to him for future jobs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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. 

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.
