"The project was repairing a drain pipe between two ponds that had been blocked for years. The solution wasn’t obvious so the approach needed multiple options. A study and review of the site and situation revealed some settling in the asphalt driveway covering the 3” PVC drain pipe. Robert brought a concrete saw to the site so he cut a one foot square in the asphalt and excavated about a foot down exposing the pipe. At this point he could see the pipe had an old splice in it that hadn't been attached so soil washed out over time and blocked the pipe. Robert was prepared for this and had brought necessary parts to make a permanent repair. A garden hose was used to remove the old debris from the line and soil replaced into the hole and a cold patch applied to repair the asphalt. Robert did an excellent job and obviously has a heart to solve customers problems and enjoys what he does. I would recommend you at least contact him no matter the problem and see what he thinks."

"My rock border was full of dirt and weeds. The guys took out the stones, cleaned them off on the driveway, put down new weed guard, then replaced the stones and added more to fill in. It looks like new! They also sawed down a couple of stumps and worked around my existing plants. Pleased with how it turned out!"

"We called Phil originally to redo our lawn after having some trees taken down & some trenching done. After Phil came to our home for an estimate on the lawn after hearing we were getting 2 puppies & also needed a chain link fence we had an urgency.Phil gave us a fair estimate he was on time and finished on time. Phil & crew did an excellent job and was very respectful to our property. I would highly recommend EBK Equipment for any lawn & fencing needs. 5/5 stars"

"Customer service was top notch- we started with a 4 acre wooded lot and we had started clearing it ourselves and had many stumps and some more trees to take down. They gave an estimate via photos and email since job site was over an hour away which worked great. Worked til job was finished and did so in a timely manner. We also added clearing a new driveway after the fact and did amazing job. Great communication - would definitely hire again and give referral. Photos are Before and afters."

"Worked with Matt and Dan. These young guys are not afraid to work and put in hours to get a job done. I was extremely impressed! They are very responsive and they did amazing work! I couldn’t be more thankful for the grading that was done. It was truly a pleasure working with these guys! I will recommend them to anyone looking to do excavating or grading of any kind. Thanks again! (Pictures below is a small amount of what was done)"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

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.
