"Although he arrived later than planned, he did phone ahead of time to let me know that he would be late and gave me an estimated time of arrival. I appreciate that. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He pointed out a tree that is being attacked by beetles and dropping dead limbs, but he also knew that the sycamores were healthy and dropped limbs naturally to self-prune. I need to get 3 estimates before selecting who will do the work, so I do not know yet if we will use Cornerstone. But just from my interaction with Mr. Miller, I would be happy to employ this tree service."

"I first hired Outdoor Construction Services to install a 70ft x 12ft driveway at my home. I was extremely impressed by the professionalism of this company. They were on time everyday, courteous to our needs at home while they worked, and delivered exactly what they promised. I have since hired them for other excavation/driveway jobs and they continue to deliver each and every time. I highly recommend this company for your needs. You can rely on their expertise and their work. I will continue to use them in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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.
