"My wife & I had our master bathroom remolded. Cameron was very meticulous about his work. It was a pleasure to be consulted throughout the process. He provided options & was open to our suggestions. We absolutely love our bathroom and feel like we're in a luxury hotel. We both agree that it certainly was a great investment for us. As a result of his craftsmanship, Cameron installed a casement window in our kitchen and tile flooring in our half bathroom. We unequivocally recommend Cameron for home improvement."

"Samuel did an amazing job! He came and took care of our trees and bushes that needed cleaning and trimming so that the whole yard was spotless. He is very thorough, polite, and takes great pride in his work. We plan to use him again!"

"Masterwork did the excavation and grading for our new home construction. My husband and I could not speak more highly about Rob and Masterwork Construction. From our very first emails, Rob was responsive, professional and kind. We happened to see him at the property one day. He took the time to pause his work, and show us everything they were working on and go through their plans moving forward. He always kept us informed throughout the process, and was a pleasure to work with. We highly, highly recommend Masterwork Construction!"

"The work went very well, my wife and I were pleased with the prompt professional service. The price was affordable and the work was great, once finished he cleaned after himself and made sure we were satisfied. I would definitely refer this company to anyone I know who needs any home repair work. Chris met our expectations and beyond with the affordable price and high quality service along with a time frame."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.
