"Great company to work with. He was professional, reliable, and communicated well throughout the project. The work was finished on time, and the quality was better than I expected. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone needing excavation or landscaping work, and I would happily use him again in the future."

"Jimmy and crew arrived on time and got right to work. They were very thorough and had the driveway completed in 4 hours. Very happy with the new driveway, no more pots holes or mud to drive through! Thinking of hiring them again for another project."

"I had an outstanding experience with Shannon at Superior Services. He used his excavator to expertly level, trench, and slope my property, exceeding all my expectations. The cost was very reasonable, and he was impressively punctual throughout the entire project. Shannon's professionalism and skill truly made a difference. I highly recommend his services for any excavation needs!"

"Keone came out the other day to give us a free estimate. He was late but explained the unavoidable circumstances. He was professional and listened to my concerns about the stump to be removed. His original plan was to grind the stump, but that was not able to be done due to the underground utilities being right underneath the stump. He came up with a second plan and quickly removed the stump, filled the hole with dirt, and cleaned up the area. Now you can hardly tell that a stump was there in the first place, and the slight mound may settle as the dirt gets further compressed."

"Sam helped me complete several items on a new manufactured home installation. We backfilled trenches, put in drainage lines and a dry well for my downspouts, and backfilled and graded around the perimeter of the home. Sam is a hard worker and has a "get-it-done" attitude. I would definitely hire him again and have no reservations recommending him to others."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.
