"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

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.
