"Had them come out to Demo a 40 yr oldl4k sqft Log Home with a full basement and also clear and level roughly a 50'x80' track of land of stumps for new construction. They did an amazing job and were very flexible and accomodating. They handled working wth the local Utility (WOE) to disable the power, the Transfer station to handle waste removal, and even worked with us and our neighbors to salvage lumber and logs from the home for future projects. The stumps and roots from the land clearing they even accomodated dropping them in the burn area on the far side of the property for us saving us days worth of work. Highly recommend them for any Demo or Land Clearing projects that you have."

"I was surprised with how well he handled the excavator in removing various sized trees and breaking a trail- all for a good value! When my son needed trees cleared I referred him to Chantz. My son was also very pleased with his job. Iâ m having Chantz return to build a road, remove more trees, prep driveways, trench and lay sewer lines for several homes. I highly recommend!"

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.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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.

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.

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.
