"My house came a non-functioning water feature in the backyard, installed by the previous owner. Over the years, I had always intended to remove it but kept putting it off and mowing around it. Fast forward to now and I am getting ready to sell the house, thinking I should finally get rid of that overgrown eyesore. Within minutes of submitting my project to Angi, Oasis Lawncare gave me a call. The next evening I had a very reasonably priced quote in hand for removing the water feature, plus additional curb appeal work. Four days before the work was scheduled to begin, we got two feet of snow -- one last mid-March storm to close out the winter. I thought for sure Oasis would request to delay, but nope: They came out on the scheduled day, worked through any remaining snow, and did a fantastic job. The job was completed on time and at the quoted price. So grateful to Oasis Lawncare's amazing crew. I would 100% hire them for any future landscaping projects."

"Mike consistently does a great job maintaining our business lawn and property exterior. He has planted and continued to maintain countless trees for us on the property as well. We have a lot of equipment around our building and he is always very careful around our machines and our buildings. Any time we have an exterior project, Mike is the only one we call. 5 STARS every time!"

"contacted T&K Builders after discovering mold in my exterior wall, and their response was immediate and professional. The team quickly demolished the affected area and installed the necessary structural supports to safely hold the roof. Everyone on site worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They kept the site clean, protected materials from the elements, and were extremely organized—especially important since we received over four inches of snow the following day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and respect for the property truly set them apart. I would absolutely recommend T&K Builders for any future projects and would not hesitate to call them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

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.

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.

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.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.
