"David & his team at Valley Excavating are great! We sought bids to demolish an in-ground pool and plant grass over the area. David promptly returned my initial call/text and came a few days later to assess the project. He had the relevant experience and understood quickly what we wanted done. His follow-up via emails addressed all of our many questions. As the requested start date approached, communication of updates through calls/texts worked smoothly. The work was completed efficiently and professionally, with all our expectations met or exceeded. We are pleased with the outcome and are glad to strongly recommend Valley Excavating."

"We were having trouble with the melting snow and then rain water building up next to our foundation and knew we needed it fixed. We saw Echo Excavations signs locally so we decided it was time to call. Incredibly reasonable completion time and he has a mini excavator so he was able to do really precise work and you can tell he cares so much about what he does. He is already working on a second project for us to take down some trees and clear some land to open up our backyard for our two kids and are thrilled. My daughter loves when the owner Echo, comes with him she is the sweetest husky you will ever meet."

"Dukes LLC is one of the finest companies Iâ ve had the pleasure of working with. We live in Belchertown and the sheer number of trees that have been coming down over the past few years has been astonishing - never something weâ d expected to see, although we live in a fairly wooded area. As a result, we hired Ben and his team to bring down an enormous split tree (probably close to 150 ft) that threatened our home around summer 2020. His team was able to take on the job within a week or two, were prompt and timely, and managed to have the entirety of the job done within two days. Ben was extremely responsive to calls and questions, and he and his team are super friendly, professional, and clearly experienced. In 2021, we had another tree that required removal and I was somewhat absent from the decision making regarding that one. Another company was hired to take it down, and I can say it was a nightmare. It took three months before anyone come by, and then - after starting the project - it took nearly a month before everything was resolved. In the meantime, we struggled almost daily to get them on the phone, and they even had the gall to request the remainder of their payment while leaving the job only half completed. So itâ s no wonder that when it became clear we had another severely dying tree - this time right near our home - we called Dukes. Ben showed up that same day to give us a proposal, and his team was back four days later to take care of the tree. They paid care to avoid our septic and water well, were right on time, and their teams were in and out all day until the job was done - less than 8 hours later. They took the tree down, ground the stump, put in loam, and even offered to grind out another stump we had in the front yard! Shout out to Travis, what a champ! Needless to say, we have nothing but glowing recommendations for Dukes, Ben and company - they more than deserve your business and they most certainly will not disappoint. Weâ re already planning our next projects with them now that we know they are also available for general landscaping services."

"Duke's did a great job! They arrived at the job early and were very efficient at cleaning out the storage unit. They were professional and friendly.

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in New Salem, MA

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.
