"We were always dreaming about a new kitchen that will be bigger then what we had in the past that we can entertain our guests. We had several estimates from contractors that told us that we cannot enlarge our kitchen because our property is on a hill side then we saw a sign in the neighborhood of U.S Home Developers and we were thinking let’s take one more estimate before we would start looking into buying a new home we met Tom that weekend and we were amazed from how knowledgeable and experienced he was Tom gave us ideas that no one else mentioned before to us. We hired him to start just with blueprints for retaining walls excavation and building a room edition Tom helped us and he guided us threw all the designs process with lots of patience and many good ideas. We were working with a budget and Tom always had the best ideas how to make it happen in our budget after our plans were approved. We started to take bids for the actual job just for us to feel more comfortable. We knew that we were going to hire Tom with U.S Home Developers but we wanted to see two more guys before we committed to the big project. When we took those bids we immediately saw the difference Tom was much more experienced in those types of jobs we finally hired him for the big project and we can’t thank him enough he delivered everything he promised and more. Tom and his crew was always patient and extremely conscience with his work and with our property. I wish I heard of U.S Developers a long time ago they changed my life and I'm grateful I will highly recommend using them. And I’ll be happy to show my project to any customers that would like to see the finished job you can contact me threw the office."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.
