"These guys are amazing! I had a general idea of what I wanted, and Ryan and Brandon came out helped me bring my idea into reality. They’ve created a patio of pavers, a fire pit, a bench, a waterfall. They have planted trees and shrubbery brought in river rock, installed a couple of French drains where I needed them, and have worked with me every step of the way. In at least one instance, they got started with something where I told them to do it and then contacted me and said “it isn’t going to look right here” or “the way you want it won’t work. This is what I suggest”. And when it was done. It was better than I could’ve imagined. They are honest, reliable, professional, and proactive. I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"He was great communicating when the weather made it impossible to excavate. He was great about keeping me informed as to when he might be able to do the work. And he was punctual when he did come out"

"If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!!! What a great company. They did everything promised plus more. They showed up on time and actually finished about a day early. The quality of the work is excellent. The whole crew was very concerned about getting the job done to our satisfaction. The estimate covered everything, no add ons or surprises. I've worked with contractors for over 40 years and this has got to be one of the best I've worked with."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

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.
