"Raven’s owner, James Potter is both hard working, intelligent, and very trustworthy and competent. I had just retired when Covid struck and my wife and I caught it very early on. What was manageable for a retiree in good health gradually became unmanageable by the time I recovered. I had made two failed attempts when Raven showed up. It took about two weeks with unfortunately wet cold weather and vine growth beyond what we originally anticipated. … Highly Recommended!"

"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

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

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.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
