" 5 days I think it was he removed the creosotes here. He made many trips to the landfill, came back ripped up more creosotes and filled up his huge trailer. He removed the huge fire danger that kept me constantly worrying about losing my home to fire. Over the years had gathered a giant pile of fire wood and he removed that too. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the open land now. I paid him more than we agreed on because he deserved it. My land is boxed in by creosotes but now I will NOT burn down when a wildfire comes. My horses can see for a long way now......not just the dry lots they live in. I do have 4 pine trees that are scheduled to be removed. Fire will come one day and I am preparing for that day.... removing the creosotes and woodpile was the answer. I feel soooo much better! The only way to clear the land was to hire a dozer guy and he was the perfect choice. It was hot and he was covered in silt, had 2 flat tires on his trailer but just a happy guy all around. great guy"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

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.
