"The work we had done by turnethy construction was very fast and precise, we had turnethy excavate and remove an old septic tank. Excavate and grade for the installation of a new one. Turnethy installed the new tank as per the plans. They showed up on time and came prepared. We have used him since with smaller projects and look forward to using them more in the future. Highly recommend, from a satisfied customer."

"Dillon Excavation just completed a grading and drain system project for me on my horse property, and his work was exemplary. He was conscientious, punctual, thorough, and knowledgeable. The final cost was exactly what he quoted, and he was a pleasure to work with. Dillon’s integrity is top notch, and I’d absolutely hire him again and again."

"Steve came out to my property a few times to talk over the project of clearing, grading, and filling a new driveway. He worked with me on what made the most sense for the final project details. Steve and his crew made very quick work installing the new driveway with a very clean and professional finish. I am ecstatic over how this project went. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking to get things done and I will absolutely be giving Steve a call in the future for any similar projects."

Knowledgeable, efficient, and clear, he kept us updated every step of the way. The attention to detail and willingness to accommodate changed everything and were the reason I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of reliable professional work."

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.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
