"Dave and Derek did an awesome job excavating our new home! Really great experience and good prices. Very hardworking team of guys. They were respectful, attentive, efficient, communicative and definitely knew what they were doing. Squeezed me into their busy schedule which I really appreciated. Everything looks perfect! The owner Dave is awesome. I would highly recommend them to anyone with excavation or site prep needs."

"I have worked with trackwest fencing on several occasions. They've always sent trustworthy people who can communicate well and produce a really good product. I've done a lot of fencing work in the past but they've always come up with new techniques that I learned from. I plan on working with this company on many occasions in the future."

Customers say: Quality work

"Matt did such a great job of tearing down and removing my dilapidated garage - he handled everything from getting the permit, arranging for asbestos testing, getting the electrical located and delivery of the dumpsters. He was careful to not damage any existing fences, and when he left, the area had been raked clean and there wasn’t a trace of the old building left behind. I would absolutely hire him again. Very professional, easy to work with, and kind."

"We had a dead tree and several trees leaning towards our house that they took down. They cut them up into manageable chunks and put them in an easy spot for me to cut up later for firewood. Also piled all branches and scraps in my burn pile. Very professional and easy to work with around my schedule."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
