"The project went amazingly! Nick was very easy to work with, took the time to explain the entire process, and was very transparent about the costs. The crew was always on time, worked diligently, and before I knew it, the work was done! Nick’s bid was very affordable, but it would have been well worth it if his bid had been the highest. I highly recommend EIB to anyone who wants a contractor who is reliable, honest, punctual, competent, performs high-quality work, has quick response times, charges a fair price, and completes the job on time!"

"Ken, is awesome! He is friendly, easy to talk to, and will take care of all your needs. I hired Ken to excavate my front lawn for landscaping. He and his professional helper/excavator, Gearmo, took measurements of my front, backyard and determined the grade of my front lawn using a laser to match the grade of my residential street in front of my house. Ken, also removed some stumps in my backyard, did some grading around my septic tanks, and moved my tough shed in my backyard. Ken prices are good, you definitely get what you pay for. I most definitely would use Tannahill Construction LLC for my excavation needs and recommend him to anyone. My yard and house look amazing, thanks to both of you. Take care and God bless!"

"I highly recommend NestEx LLC. We needed a gravel pad prepared for 2 sheds on very short notice, and he truly saved the day. Despite the tight timeline, he went out of his way to accommodate us by coming out on a Saturday to get the job done. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the moment he started. He meticulously dug out the soil and leveled the entire area before taking his time to expertly layer layer and compact the gravel. You can tell he takes immense pride in his work; the base is rock-solid and perfectly even. What impressed me the most was his thoughtfulness. After finishing a thorough cleanup of the area, he was gracious enough enough to cover the entire pad to protect it from the incoming rain. He wanted to ensure the gravel wouldn’t be compromised so it could harden properly- a level of care you rarely see. If you want someone reliable, hardworking, and genuinely dedicated to quality, look no further. 5 stars all the way."

"Perfect! Very professional estimator & project manager and the work crew was fantastic. Worked 7 days straight, very punctual and extremely tidy. They consulted with me whenever they had a question or to clarify something to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it. Very high quality- I plan to hire them again in the future to do front yard project with pathways & terracing."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
