"It went very well. Daryl's crew did a great job and finished quickly. The wall looks great and they cleaned the worksite up when they left. Would definitely recommend and I would re-hire for another job."

"I have worked with many contractors over the years and H-Bros Excavating is by far the best experience I have ever had. They showed up when they said they would to provide an estimate. They started the job at the time they said they would. They kept me informed of the progress, what was going to be needed, each next step, and met the completion time they projected. When they were almost done, I found that I had not communicated exactly what I needed and it wasn't done quite the way I had intended. After I was clear on what it was I wanted, without a blink, sour word, or any frustration, they simply went to work to give me what I wanted. The entire mistake was mine for not being clear and yet they were happy to fix what was almost done. All of this and the final bill was exactly what I had been originally quoted. You will not fine a more professional or personable company anywhere. Their attention to detail and desire to provide me with what I wanted is unparalled. I will use them again and I will recommend them to anyone needed an excavating company. You will not be disappointed. Dan"

"Read about Thornton Plumbing on your website and read some of the comments others had written in their reviews. Ratings were high, so I thought I would give them a try. Called the office and was told that a serviceman could be out before noon that very day. I sure was pleased to hear that! So, we scheduled the appointment... and then I waited. And waited... Shortly after noon, I called the office again and was assured that my repairman was finishing up his job and would be arriving soon. Just about an hour later, Neal, one of the owners, arrived to solve my problem. I explained that I needed a new valve for my dishwasher, my garbage disposal quit that morning and I needed the new one installed and also my new dishwasher needed to be installed. He took all this in and in a very professional manner proceeded to do all the work I had requested. I was very impressed with the quality.... Neal went out of his way to be sure everything worked... even had to get an additional part for my dishwasher so it could be installed! He inspected the pipes under the sink to be sure nothing leaked after all the work was completed. He was very thorough and I am happy to say I have found my Plumber! I was a bit leery about some of the comments others left in their reviews regarding lack of communication, not showing up on time..... but you have to know that once they arrive, the quality of service they provide, the professional way the work is performed, and the fun personality of Neal... well, it's worth the wait! I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and neighbors... and will definitely call them again if I have any other plumbing issues!"

"Vance the owner is very service oriented. He had us come out to his home because we were concerned with the noise of the HVAC unit. We went to his home and everything was great and affected our choice to go with them going forward. We collaborated with the installation and worked with us on everything."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.

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.

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.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
