"The Litaker family and their workers did an awesome job on our newly purchased home in Searcy. We knew it needed a lot of work, especially outside. I dreaded the process of hiring contractors to do the renovation because of all the bad things I hear about contractors not showing up, doing shotty work, lack of communication, etc. After getting quotes from them and meeting them, we decided to use them over others we'd interviewed. They were the whole package and could do anything/everything so we didn't have to deal with multiple contractors to achieve our end goal. Their supply quotes (for new windows, paint, roofing shingles, etc) turned out to be very accurate and they stuck by their labor quotes as well. They installed all new windows, replaced rotten batten boards, painted the entire outside, installed new posts on a wrap around porch, waterproofed a balcony on the 2nd floor and added railing for safety, and installed a new roof on the 1.5 story home. They worked! They didn't hang around shooting the breeze! Rarely ever took any kind of break even for lunch. They actually showed up every day they were scheduled and were very easy to communicate with via telephone and text. The also offered advice on how to save money on our ideas which changed a few of our plans for the better. This was about a 3-4 week project to finalize. We have a few inside projects in the future and we will certainly hire them to come back when we are ready. Lastly, we really enjoyed their personalities. The crew was very personable =)"

"I have to give a HUGE shout out to Mahan Septic Systems and Dirt Work from Hot Springs, AR. We had a stopped up toilet and needed some assistance. We found them on Angi and they contacted us immediately. We made arrangements and they came the next day and found the issue and solved it. They even came back the following day and fixed the toilet lid (which wasn't even on the fix list!). I would highly recommend giving them a call the next time you need any septic and plumbing work. Call (501) 617-7689. Thank you Mahan!"

"It was apparent they were very skilled. They quickly dropped the huge limbs without a scratch on the house, fence or sheds surrounding the tree. They arrived on time and cleaned the area to my satisfaction before leaving. And they were competetively priced! I can't say enough good things about this company."

Excavating FAQs, 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.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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.
