"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 had 4 overgrown shrubs removed and 4 shrubs trimmed and am very happy with the work provided. You wouldn't even know there were 4 shrubs there, the clean up was very professional. I'm hiring GV to come back next week to remove an old dead pine tree. Emmanuel stayed in communication with me, which was very helpful."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work Gus did on my yard! He removed old plants, regraded the landscape, planted new shrubs, and spread fresh mulch, completely transforming the space. What impressed me most was his incredible work ethic. He put in long hours, paid attention to every detail, and took great pride in making sure everything looked perfect. The finished project exceeded my expectations, and my yard has never looked better. It’s clear that Gus genuinely cares about doing quality work and making his customers happy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for landscaping, plant removal, grading, or mulch installation. Thank you, Gus, for your hard work and dedication!"

"Colton installed a 10x12 gravel base pad for a shed we bought. He did an excellent job! His bid was very competitive with other landscapers in the area and the quality of work was on point. He was on time, respectful, and made sure we were happy with the job prior to him completing the job. I would definitely recommend him!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

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.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.
