"We had a tree with an open knot that was rotting the tree from the inside out. This made for a dangerous situation for a future storm that would have brought the tree down causing severe damage. Murphy tree service had the time that afternoon while they were finishing a job on our street. They took the tree down very efficiently and cleaned up behind themselves. They are personable and professional throughout the job. When you want a job done right at a fair price call Murphy tree service."

"South Henry Construction and Land Management did an absolutely outstanding job on our project! They laid asphalt millings for us and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done properly and with care. The quality of their work shows in every detail, the surface is smooth, well-graded, and looks fantastic. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to doing the job right really stood out. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone needing construction or land management services. Truly a 5-star experience from start to finish!"

"Nathan and James were the absolute perfect people to work with. I wanted about an acre clear with trees to knock down, stumps filled in, roots managed, and logs cleared out. They kept all our appointments to talk about the project and gave me a firm date on when they would start and finish. They stuck to it and worked hard, totally exceeding my expectations. They were fair and reasonable with prices, if you need excavation or anything of the sort done you need to call these guys, I'm definitely going to get them to help me out for my next projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
