"Chad and his crew were wonderful! They installed a concrete pad for parking, a stamped patio in the backyard, new stamped concrete walkway, as well as landscaping, grading and new sod. They listened to our needs, budget and made our backyard like an oasis. Highly recommend."

"Jeff and his crew went above and beyond our expectations. They trimmed over 30 trees for us and opened up our view of the water. They also cut down several damaged trees with absolute precision. The price was very reasonable. After seeing their work, my neighbors hired them."

"I requested Robert look at what i wanted - steps on either side of my back deck to go down my sloped yard. Next thing I know we are at the Big Box store getting the needed materials…. He’s a git-R-done kind of guy. Next thing I know my problem area is more accessable. Granted, mine was a very small project, but he stayed on the project until it was a done deal. I recommend you give him an opportunity to help you on your next project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

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. 

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
