"He did a great Sales Offer and was great when starting landscaping/ grading to level ground for foundation. But once the building parts were delivered he stopped working They dug the perimeter to the building. The dumpster was repossessed late at night. Two weeks later they came and picked up all their machinery. Trey said he was waiting for 3 days of dry weather to lay concrete. We had 10 days in April. We were already passed first promise due date of April 1st. But now he says he is waiting on inspections. 1st inspection failed due to uneven foundation sand and deer prints, Permits were not collected in February as was told in February that he was getting them with signed documents from me giving him permission to get them. All payments made prior to March to keep workers on the job. They did not fulfill their end of agreement to be paid in advance, Flood vents were suppose to be ordered in January with rest of garage -- done by call to Spry Steel via conference call by Tres, me and Samantha of Spry Steel. Somehow they were overlooked and had to be reordered in May, after second completion date of May 1st. Tres has made no attempt to get anything done since perimeter dug. Last I heard he was having trouble getting inspection of dugout perimeter to get concrete. But I have been told by other contractors that they area is not dug properly and the plastic and rebar need to be spread in the area where building is to be built. The rebar and plastic are sitting in puddles of mud where it has rained over the months and Trey has not bothered to move. Rebar has grass and weeds growing over it. Plastic is becoming useless as it deteriorates in the sun and mud."

Excavation major grading or reslopings FAQs

Winter conditions increase the duration and labor required for excavation because cold weather and frozen soil demand extra effort. Some local grading companies offer off-season rates that reduce overall expenses while accommodating longer project timelines. Homeowners are advised to consult local professionals to confirm that these rate adjustments help balance the higher operational challenges experienced during winter.

The time it takes to complete an excavation project varies. Small projects like digging for a shed foundation might take a day or two while excavating for a home basement can take up to five days. Factors like soil type, site accessibility, project size, and unexpected issues (like hard rock or high water tables) can affect the timeline.

Yes, it's essential to call 811 before any excavation work. This free service will mark underground utility lines on your property, helping you avoid dangerous and costly accidents. Always call 811 to ensure your project is completed safely and that it’s compliant with local laws that are in place to protect you and your property.
