We’re a locally owned and operated company that values honesty and integrity and treats your home as if it were our own. Our services are customized to the individual project, paying close attention to the details of each project that we're involved with. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work as well as our commitment to outstanding results. We look forward to building lasting relationships and guaranteeing your satisfaction!

"B&H cut down two very large pine trees in my yard this week and did a fantastic job. Braden and his team arrived when they said they would and got right to work - first digging up the plants in my flower bed we had agreed would need to be moved for them to get the machine needed to remove the large log sections as they cut the trees down into my yard. The process of cutting down trees 75 to 100 feet tall without a crane requires a good deal of effort and skill. This is obvious even for a complete novice like myself. Braden and his team worked steadily through the day and into the early evening to get the two trees down and grind out the stumps. The early evening work involved clearing the worst of the debris and addressing the divots that inevitably result from felling sections of a large tree. Courteous, personable, knowledgeable, timely, skilled...who could ask for more? I am very pleased with the service provided by B&H Land Clearing and Tree Services. I would hire them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It’s possible that you’ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
