Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
It depends on your project and the soil quality. If the dirt is clean and good quality, we can use it for backfilling once the work is done or spread it around your property for grading. If you have extra dirt or if it’s contaminated with debris, we haul it away properly. We discuss this during your estimate so you know the plan ahead of time.
Before we dig anything, we contact utility companies to mark all underground lines on your property. Gas, electric, water, and sewer lines get marked with flags and paint. We dig carefully around these marked areas and use hand tools when working close to any lines. Your safety and your property’s utilities are always protected.
Rock and large tree roots are common in Chesterfield. If we find them, we stop and let you know right away. We can remove rock with our equipment or work around large roots depending on what’s best for your project. We always discuss the situation with you before continuing, so there are no surprise charges.
Heavy rain can delay excavation work because wet soil becomes unstable and unsafe to dig. We watch the weather closely and adjust the schedule if needed. Most small delays are just a day or two. We keep you updated and reschedule as soon as conditions are safe to work again.
Yes, excavation is often the best way to fix drainage issues. We can regrade your yard to redirect water away from your house, dig trenches for drainage pipes, or create proper slopes so water doesn’t pool. After we look at your property, we’ll explain what’s causing the problem and how we can fix it.
