"On time, on budget, competent, well equipped, and easy to work with. What's not to like? Bent over backwards to accommodate my unconventional requests with no apparent effort. The guy's a veritable microsurgeon with an excavator. Highly recommend!"

"I was extremely pleased with the work Bert and John did for me. They are extraordinary representatives of Bellavance Land Works. Bert works that excavator like a precision instrument. His work is absolute perfection. I was floored by how great it looked when he was finished. His co worker John went above and beyond what the work required. He stayed busy tidying up and finding minor projects to help with while the excavator was in use. Both Bert and John are super nice to have working at your home. They showed up on time, got right to work and left my yard spotless and me extremely happy. Not kidding. Hire these guys. You will be glad you did!"

"Eric did an excellent job installing a bluestone walkway and two bluestone stairs to our side porch. He also planted two step-railing posts in concrete and gravel , and when I noted one was about 6" off center with the askew 100-year old porch door, he dug it out and repositioned it to better align with the crooked house. He started the project when promised and completed it in just two days, including spreading topsoil sloping to either side of the walkway and planting grass. I was very pleased with the work and get a lot of complements on the stone steps and walkway."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
