"We recently had vinyl plank flooring installed in our living room and hallway, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very beginning, Shepherds Contracting was transparent, informative, and fair with pricing. The installation itself was seamless—no gaps, no mess, and absolutely no stress. The craftsmanship and professionalism truly stood out. If you’re looking for a company that delivers quality work with care and integrity, Shepherds Contracting is it!"

"Jack the arborist was great! Came out to personally inspect and gave a good estimate. Was up front with our options to get done what we wanted to get done (the tree removal was large). The office customer service was also prompt and thorough. Project and cleanup was done swiftly and cleanly."

"I hired Nick after another excavator no call no showed. Nick was able to step in and get me on his schedule in a few days. Communication between Nick and my GC was excellent. Rough grade on the site, trenching for foundation and sewer lines. Everything was done on time and on plan. No hesitation to recommend his service."

"Called various electricians and found no-one willing to do the installation without scaffolding, which would add $325 to the job or a special ladder adding $250 to the  job for just the equipment.  Found White Brothers, who have a perfect size ladder for the installation with no additional charges.  They were courteous, prompt, and professional from start to finish.  Would use again, and plan to for another job after the holidays.  Glad to have found them.

"Such a great company! Ravi was so professional, kind, always there to help organize. His crew, lead by Carlos included such happy, skilled, hardworking men. On time everyday ( even my neighbors noticed). They excavated old concrete& cement pavers. Installed with great craftsmanship pavers on sidewalk, edges of driveway. Did extra things to make it all perfect. I hit the jackpot finding this company. Highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

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