"It went very well. Excavated the top soil and installed and compacted 6inches of pit run and capped with a few inches of 1-1/4" gravel. They cleaned up all the shoulders and made the driveway look like it had always been there. Very professional job."

"Loved there fnshed work. Had fifteen yards of concrete patio and a block wall bulit. They not only did great job but they spent the time doing it right. Not one crack in the concrete. They took care of dranige issues I did not even think of. Had a buddy go with a diffrent compney at the same time and his 10 yard patio is all cracked up. If you want it done right then go with Universal Landscaping."

Customers say: Quick response

"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."

"The dishwasher arrived earlier than was quoted becase their supplier has it in stock and delivered to them earlier. The technician took out the old dishwasher which its pump failed and is leaking water, then installed the new one, tested to make sure it works. The old dishwasher's water supply and discharge hose are unconventional, so the technician had to go buy them at a local hardware store which took extra 15 minutes or so instead of reusing them. Overall, a very pleasant experience."

"I have had the pleasure of working with the owner of this excavation company on a residential project, and the service was exemplary. He went out of his way to help with the preparation of the house, making sure everything was in order before the continuation of work. 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

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.
