"Nothing but great things to say about Kevin and his crew. Kevin is friendly, responsive, timely, knowledgeable and professional. His expertise and talent as an Equipment Operator was a joy to watch! My project was an acre more or less of 25 year tree and brush growth; so land clearing, a driveway and building pad complete with two dump truck loads of AB spread and graded. He did in less than a day what it would have taken me three days with rented equipment. He saved me time, money and headaches! I can't wait to call him out again. I need a pond and a hole for a root cellar dug; KO Excavating is the one I'm calling. Thank you Kevin!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

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

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.
