You might be thinking: “Why not rent a machine and try it myself?”

Sure, you can rent a mini-excavator at the hardware store. But here’s what usually happens:

The job takes 5x longer than you thought

You hit a utility line (hello, repair bill)

You underestimate how precise grading or trench depth really needs to be

Or worst of all—you dig it, and the county inspector makes you do it all over again

Professional excavation isn’t about digging holes. It’s about knowing where, how, and why to dig. That’s the part people usually regret trying to figure out solo.
