"After leaving multiple messages and getting no return calls from the other guys, I contacted Masterwork Construction and was connected with Rob. This guy will do anything for you, from excellent explanations, to professional referrals, to amazing recommendations this guy has the information for you, and if he doesn't he will find it for you fast. My wife and I bought raw land and started the project of building our dream home. Rob is incredible when it comes to explaining why and how his company will get your projects done. My wife and I wanted to put in some sweat equity to save some money initially, and he was happy to tell us what exactly to do! If you are in need to earth moving work look no further. Give Rob a call and you will have zero issues getting what you need done, quickly, and at a good price."

"I hired AP Excavating to expand our parking area with a stone pad. Additionally they excavated, prepped and dialed in a pad for our hot tub and sauna. They also installed a new drainage solution. Through the entire process Gus was super helpful in providing updates and communicating options and recommendations for various details. I’d highly recommend this contractor."

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!"

"Great team to work with. The job was done a day early and completed quickly. Three window wells replaced and grading done. Very nicely executed, the job site cleaned up, and all at a reasonable cost. Definitely recommend On Board Landscaping."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
