"Central Wisconsin Excavating (CWE) did a fantastic job on our project. They built a solid, well-prepared foundation for our 80,000-bushel grain bin and graded our driveways perfectly to ensure water drains away from our buildings. Their attention to detail, quality of work, and professionalism really stood out. The site was left clean and properly finished, and everything was done right the first time. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend CWE to anyone needing excavation or site work done right."

"Layne Brandt and Dillon Sears arrived in a pickup pulling an enormous flat bed! They filled that flat bed with leaves, old mulch, weeds, yard debris to the top, and we were amazed that all of it came from our yard! They artistically trimmed several of my Boxwoods, Bridal Wreath, and tamed several overgrown shrubs. They listened to what we wanted them to accomplish, and then they did it all in grand style! These are two young men, in their second year of business, who are providing stellar service! We are having them add mulch later this week! They are a fine and responsible pair to work with! They are a pleasure to have around and we know that they will be very successful in their TQ All Season Service, LLC ventures! Give them a try!!!"

"Friendly, prompt service at a great price. We had an old piano removed (and a few other things they were willing to take) and they got the job done in no time. I was also able to get this done within just a couple of days from the time I searched for options. Very pleased and will be keeping them in mind for anything I need hauled away in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
