Customers say: True professional

"Greg Arnone is a true professional. He is knowledgeable and detail oriented. We had a horrible complicated mess on our property involving a washed out driveway, soil retention issues, grading issues, as well as water problems under an important workshop. It was a big job. Greg offered technical solutions in a clear and focused manner, and we were super impressed with all the ways his foresight and project management approach came together. Our property was long neglected and needed a lot of drainage solutions in order to flourish, and Greg made sure that our yard and workshops are now easily maintained and able to grow beautifully. I would not hesitate to hire Diversified Trades for any job on your property. My wife and I plan to call Greg for a number of future projects. He is straightforward, hardworking, pleasant, and committed. Highly recommended!"

"Brendan was friendly and very quick to respond. He gave a few options at different price points for a gravel driveway and the estimates were very detailed. He was able to schedule it quickly and had everything done in a day while still being a perfectionist. I will be using him in the future and recommending him to others!"

"I hired Mike to remove a 150 ft row of overgrown brush that had an old fence running in the middle. The day of the job Mike arrived on time and had all the proper equipment for the job. He was able to complete this job in a day. After the removal he added top soil and graded my lawn so now the water runs to the road and doesn’t pool in my yard. He listen to what I wanted and gave his advice and I am thrilled with the result. I would highly recommend Mike."

"Damion and crew were hard working and thorough. They removed a very tall pine tree, took away all the debris and ground the stump. They left the property neat and clean. I would definitely recommend this company."

"I recently bought a 1968 ranch home. The front and back porches and areas of the foundation were in dire need of major repair and resurfacing. I also wanted a color stain applied to the porches and the foundation when the masonry was complete. From my initial conversation with Serena, to the very detailed estimate, and throughout the job to completion, I was very happy with the timeframe and the quality of the work. Serena and Bo answered my many questions along the way. They were a pleasure to deal with; and, I am very happy with the outcome. I learned a lot about masonry from my many questions and their thorough responses. This is a family business that exhibits an attention to detail, honesty and to customer service that is hard to find these days. I realize that my project was small compared to their usual scope, but I was treated with professionalism nonetheless. I would not hesitate to recommend them."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Ghent, NY

You can excavate in winter, but frozen soil slows down the process and increases labor costs. Many grading companies offer discounted rates during their off-season, so ask for a winter quote and weigh the savings against a longer timeline. A brief conversation with a local professional will help determine whether cold-weather excavation is suitable for your site.

Foundation digs can be completed in as little as three days or take up to three weeks. Soil density, access, weather, and hidden obstacles all play a role, so every timeline is a bit different. Have your contractor walk the site and flag any potential issues early—clear expectations help keep both the schedule and budget on track.

You must always call 811 before excavating. Dial 811 a few days in advance so that utility crews can mark underground lines and ensure the area is safe for digging. Hitting a buried cable or gas pipe can be both dangerous and expensive, and many municipalities will not issue permits unless the site is flagged correctly.

To remove soil during an excavation project, your crew will load the spoil into dump trucks with a backhoe or excavator, haul it to a disposal site, and return for the next load. Efficient hauling keeps the work zone clear and the project moving. Depending on the site and volume of osil, multiple trucks may rotate to maintain a steady flow.
