"This is the second review I am writing for RainforestLA in reference to a second job they have just completed for my wife and I. We can now confidently say that our backyard is now the most aesthetically pleasing part of our house, as well as the most enjoyable part in which to spend time, thanks to the beautiful work done by Yosef and his guys at RainforestLA. They produced quality work quickly. As has been our experience, Yosef kept us up-to-date with daily progress reports. Because of our earlier experience with the company, we felt free to trust their suggestions and my wife and I are, once again, extremely grateful to RainforestLA for transforming our backyard into the perfect place to lounge. We plan on hiring them again, and cannot recommend enough."

"I have only great things to say about Mor--friendly, efficient, honest, and economical. Mor is also very knowledgable about the permitting process. Our project with Mor was demolition of a residential property not worth rehabbing. They guided us through a difficult application process with the city that included numerous delays on the city's part. When the time came for demolition, Mor was fast, efficient, and handled the cleanup promptly and capably. I would recommend Mor without hesitation for a similar project. If mine was an indication of the quality of their other work areas, your project will be in the best of hands!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
