"Home Advisor does not have the specific category for the work that was performed of replacement of graded retaining wall up my driveway and around a structure. The work utilized excavation, concrete, wood & construction. Cristian, the owner, was the epitomy of professionalism as with every crew member. Firstly, he did not try to sell me on something I did not want, much appreciated. The job was meticulously executed in record time at the price I could pay. This job has been on my bucket list for years... finally completed with a job well done!"

"US Trenchless (Ross) preformed an inspection for us on a house we were buying. After we bought it, he installed a sewer access in the backyard. It was pretty cool to see the sewer pipe via their sewer camera. Very professional team doing the work. They left our backyard in the same condition as before. Highly recommend you have a sewer inspection from these guys if you're buying a home or have an older home.

"After getting several enthusiastic responses from the references that Nato gave us we quickly decided that this was the company we wanted to work with. The work went smoothly and what impressed me most was that they were here every day. One day when they had an emergency at a past project Nato called up explained and said he would work Saturday to keep on schedule, which he did. He was very interested in our opinion of the work performed and took every one of our requests seriously and did all of our changes with out complaint or acrimony. To put it plainly he was a pleasure to work with. Nato always said that we could call if there was ever any problems and after the job was done and paid for we had a request and he was there and handled everything exactly as promised."

"Jason and his crew performed both exceptionally and professionally on numerous occasions at my residence. Particularly mentionable was the transparency put forth on work explanation versus leaving the customer in the dark. I recommend the outfit to anyone finding themselves in a jam OR on preventive maintenance issues."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in San Jose, CA

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.
