"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."

"Extremely well done. Project had flooding issues. The crew dug a drain well, regraded the yard and input a French drain system efficiently, effectively and were really easy to work with. Jimmy was clear, communicative and quick. I will definitely rely on this company again when necessary. Fantastic experience!"

I highly recommend his services for any excavation needs!"

"Sam helped us by clearing several beds that were VERY overgrown with large weeds, brush, etc. He also spread a few yards of bark. Sam was responsive, on-time, and efficient. The beds look great! He is definitely someone we would hire again for other projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.

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.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
