"If it can't be done, I can do it!" That has been my motto, and my favorite thing about being in the plumbing and piping industry for over 20 years; troubleshooting and figuring out how to get difficult jobs done. Every job has unexpected issues that occur, and you want someone who has not just seen it all, but knows how to fix it!

"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

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

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.

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.

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.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.
