"All of the jobs were done above expectations! The craftsmanship and attention to detail were second to none. The professional attitude that was taken with each one led to the next one being requested. One can not go wrong with the services of Smithsonian, led by their Master Mason, Steve Smith!"

"They did an amazing job! A sinkhole formed after a utility did some work near my driveway (along with other damage they caused on a separate occasion). Also, the driveway was less than 3 years old and was sinking near the garage due to poor installation by the builders of the house. RoadMax came out to give me a free estimate and explained everything very clearly. They even honored the quote even after 8 months of waiting for the utility to agree to pay for the damage. Their willingness to contact the utility company on my behalf really helped resolve the issue. The new driveway is perfect and looks great! The workers were very professional and did a great job. RoadMax will be my go-to paving company going forward. Highly recommend! I just wish I had some better before pictures to demonstrate the transformation."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

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).

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.
