"Still in the beginning phase. Weather hasn’t cooperated. Sales representative Jeremy Winans is very knowledgeable and guided us through the entire process. We are having two ponds built and a new ICON home put between them. Brian VanDevender and his field crew have been very helpful and have taken the time to explain each step. Their approach to controlling water from 5 springs and a small drainage creek has worked exceptionally. We’ve got 10 days of no rain in the forecast and I expect that will allow completion on schedule. I would recommend VanDevender Construction for any job as of today and don’t see me changing my mind."

"Communication with B and K / Hoffman Excavating was excellent from the beginning. The contact person was Jeremy- he was focused, friendly and professional as I explained the project and my goals for completing it. The discussion was straightforward and constructive- then the agreed scope of the project was clearly listed in the contract. That transparency was unlike other contracts presented to us in our search for a professional. Many of those were so vague that we couldn't sign them. Jeremy worked with all groups needing to issue permits for the work to be done, including the HOA for the gated community where the project would be done. Once the physical work started, they remained in daily contact, supplying pictures and videos since we couldn't be there to see progress. Changes were only made after we both understood and agreed. Upon completion, the workers did a FaceTime video so I was comfortable submitting final payment, I don't have a single complaint! I would hire them again."

"We needed it done quickly. Brock drove from Buckannon area to Bridgeport area on a Saturday morning. He drove his excavator 2/10the of a mile up a narrow drive that was solid ice. He got the job done, site cleaned up and his price was very reasonable. I would recommend him without hesitation. Integrity and responsive to our needs. Good outfit."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.
