"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."

I am specialize in demo and junk removal. I am usually a little bit cheaper then others because most of the stuff I load myself. I can handle putting 4 tons of material on my truck in about 3 to 4 hours on my own. My truck is very large and has 16 foot long bed that can handle 5 tons. I can also get a machine or use more guys if needed. I have been doing this for two years. Please call and let me work out a bid as i Said I have less overhead then most.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

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.
