How wide does a gate need to be for your excavator?

Our excavator fits through standard 5-foot (60-inch) gate openings. We can confirm by photo before arrival.

Can you remove stumps with the excavator?

Yes. We pull stumps with the thumb attachment — no chemicals, no waiting months for decay.

How deep can you trench?

We routinely trench to standard utility and drainage depths (up to about 8 feet). We'll confirm depth before scheduling.

Do you locate utilities before digging?

We require Indiana 811 locates on every dig and verify mark-outs on site before breaking ground.

What does excavator work cost in Hendricks County?

Pricing depends on access, soil, and scope. Most residential digs are priced per project; hourly rates available for open scope. Call 317-206-0414.
