"They went above and beyond for our project. They did exactly what we wanted and more. They even went as far as helping get some debris moved for us while they had their equipment out here. They built us these two beautiful rock retaining walls with ramps down the center and even went above and beyond by adding gravel to the second/third tier when I had mentioned I wanted to do it in the future. Their pricing was fair and they even helped out my mother in law to do some work. *If I could post a photo I would, but the file size is too large*"

"Awesome finish work to our tiny remote cabin! Ryan and crew installed our LVP flooring in just a few hours. He kept us up to date on the project with text and pictures, super helpful since we live in Seattle and had to work. His crew kept the construction site clean and the vendor he used for our cedar interior work was meticulous. Thanks Ryan!"

"The guys were all wonderful and very friendly and helpful. They took down my unsafe and very old deck along with a caved in shed and built me a new, bigger, safer and beautiful one! Can’t wait to get some furniture out there and enjoy the amazing view it offers."

"We recently had Ybarra Professional Builders do some remodeling in our home. We had a new tiled shower put in our master bathroom. We had new quartz countertops and appliances installed in the kitchen. We had the cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen refinished. And we had the whole house painted on the inside. Mike Haim was our project manager and we appreciated his excellent service and vision. Oswaldo and Ray were our expert workmen and they did the whole project. It was great only having two people come in and out to do the work. The company has all their own workmen and so you donâ t have someone new for each job. We canâ t say enough good things about the work that was done and the people who did it. We wouldnâ t think of calling someone else, if we want something done again. Thanks Mike, Oswaldo and Ray! It looks wonderful!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.
