"When my wife and I bought our first home we found we could not get in the garage without our cars scraping in the driveway. We had Maven and a few other contractors come out and give us quotes. Brandon came out and impressed us with the detail of his quote and planning and then surprised us by having the lowest quote. Initially they planned on getting our work done in a couple of weeks because they were busy, but they moved some stuff around and got to us within a week because they knew we were excited to move into our house. On the first day they tore up the bad section of driveway and refilled it with gravel to ensure our cars would be able to get in the garage. Even though I initially thought this was a bit much we found out getting the driveway just right was a bit more complex than it looked. Sadly no matter what they tried we couldn't get my wife's sedan in one garage door because of how the rest of the driveway was laid but could Gerry my car in after a couple of tries. Now we are looking on our beautiful new driveway section and cannot wait to finally get in our garage with ease!! And when we have enough money saved up to redo the rest of the driveway or any other concrete work done we know who to call! We highly recommend them to all of our friends and anyone looking for high quality work at a very reasonable price!"

"DigForce Excavation did an excellent job digging out my tornado shelter. They used an excavator and a skid steer, which made the work fast, efficient, and precise. The crew was professional, worked safely, and left the area clean when they were finished. I?m very satisfied with the quality of their work and would highly recommend DigForce Excavation to anyone needing excavation services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
