"Wow! Let me start by saying I had several contractors come by to give me estimates on fixing some major concerns I’ve had in my yard for quite a while. I needed a professional who could complete everything I needed at a reasonable price. Well, Mr Julio Escobar (ET General Contractor Inc) was able to accommodate everything I needed done. He listened to everything I needed and provided excellent suggestions as to the right approach to do the job. This entailed re-sloping my backyard to direct water away from my house foundation and installing a drainage system in my backyard. My backyard was a barren wasteland that needed quite a bit of work. I had barely any grass on one side with many trees that I wanted removed in order to get more sunlight and allow grass to grow. Julio’s crew did an amazing job (cut down trees, removed all branch/log debris and grinded/ground the stumps down to the roots). His crew planted 29 Japanese Cedar trees along my fence line. My appreciation goes out to Julio Escobar for working with the nursery to get me all Japanese Cedars instead of the Leyland Cypress trees. Exactly what I wanted all along. God Bless you! He and his crew trucked in tons of river rock to lay around my pool and along the foundation in the back of the house and then laid, I forget how many, rolls of sod. These guys worked hard and in the worst heat of the summer. Lastly, but definitely not least he and his crew brought in clean topsoil and organic compost, grass seed, and fertilizer to cover my front yard (that also was a wasteland). After that he aerated the area and laid sod on the sides of my driveway so that there would be no run off when it rained. I can’t express enough how professional, courteous, and attentive Mr Escobar and his entire crew were throughout the entire job. I would definitely use them again for future projects. God Bless them for their hard work and strong work ethic!"

"Ed Gray and Fauquier Excavation give excellent service! Ed gave me the best price of three quotes, showed up and worked fast with outstanding customer service. I hired him to prepare a site for an outbuilding and subcontract and manage concrete pours on a foundation. He and crew worked efficiently and did a great job. He graded the land as smooth as glass, the concrete work he sub'd was well managed and it turned out exactly as I had hoped. The final price was exactly quoted price. I wish he had cleared the land when my home was constructed, the lot would be much smoother. I wouldn't consider using anyone else after this experience."

"I was having an acre cleared out in Spotsylvania, VA. Not only did they show up and get going without hesitation, they cleared and graded the land beautifully. They were amazingly professional and friendly, and I will definitely call them for any and everything I need done from here forward. They were honestly awesome. Thank you to everyone on the Shadowcast crew."

"I have a large yard about .75 acre and needed help with leaves this year. Legend responded to my request with an emailed estimate and scheduled to perform the work within a few days. The work was done well and on the day scheduled. Once work was completed I was emailed an invoice and I paid online. Legend was very responsive to communications and during the pandemic an excellent contactless service for leaf removal."

"There were issues like a portion of pipe under the sink that needed fixed as well as re-doing some of the valving that was leaking water. The guys also didn't have part with them and had to go out and purchase what they needed to do the job correctly. They also had some issue with reverse osmosis system due to the complicated set up. However they figured it out and the job was done in about 4 hours. They were very professional and cleaned up. Even helped put things back under the kitchen sink that had to be removed so that they could install the RO system and do the other plumbing work."

"Keith examined the job the afternoon on Thursday and we discussed his proposed solution and answer my questions and concerns.  He said that he would get back to me that afternoon with an E-mail after consulting with his manager.  He did say that he could do the project in four hours the next afternoon.  I received a call early the next morning with a quoted cost which I accepted.  Indeed he and his crew arrived at 2:00pm the next day and completed the job in four hours.  It looks good and it's still standing.  Only time will tell.
I should say that another contractor quoted me 5,080 plus an estimated $400 for materials.

FAQs for excavation projects in Amissville, VA

Depth depends on the type of installation and the regulations in your area. Water supply lines typically require 24 inches, while drainage pipes are often installed 36 inches below grade. For most general projects, a depth of 12 to 24 inches and a width of about eight inches is sufficient. Sticking to these specs keeps your utilities safe, code-compliant, and easier to maintain later.

When you need to run utilities underground, you’ve got two main options: boring or trenching. Boring employs directional drilling to install utilities without exposing a continuous channel, while trenching requires excavating an open channel to place utilities securely. Directional drilling preserves landscape integrity, whereas trenching provides direct access for installation, albeit with greater surface disruption. This clear comparison helps you select the method best suited to your project.

Plan on 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet when the soil is cooperative and you can work continuously. This timeframe applies when work is performed consistently and methodically. Factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and frozen ground increase the overall duration, demanding extra planning and effort. Comprehensive operational planning ensures that every challenge is managed efficiently and the project is completed on schedule.

If you want your yard to look untouched, laying fresh sod over the trench is the quickest fix. New sod needs 30 to 45 days to root and blend with the rest of your lawn. A local sod pro can provide you with a firm timeline and tips to ensure the grass takes hold and maintains your curb appeal.
