I’m a creative, detail-oriented handyman and problem solver who enjoys turning ideas into practical, finished projects. I specialize in landscape projects, improving both indoor and outdoor spaces, excavation, property improvements, building and repair work, junk removal, transport and delivery services of items up to 10,000 lbs, handyman work and general repairs, and more. Clients tell me I have a knack for finding smart, low-cost solutions that make a space look better, function better, and add value without unnecessary expense. Whether it’s hanging pictures and lights, building something from scratch, improving a yard or curb appeal, or figuring out a creative solution to a challenging project, I take pride in doing quality work and paying attention to the details. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful service and leave every project looking much better than when I started.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
