"Great experience from bid to completion! Alex was the most proactive of all the businesses we RFP’d on our project and his excellent communication followed throughout the entire process. He understood our needs and went above and beyond to ensure we were pleased with the final result. We would most definitely hire Three Peak Enterprises again in the future! A+++ Highly Recommend!"

"Brett was amazing! I had several small areas in the yard to be done which required moving river rock, installing mulch, resurrecting a partially buried sidewalk, and trimming a couple bushes, among other things. He is very concerned with making sure the customer is happy with the outcome. Debris was carefully cleaned up and hauled away. He and his crew were friendly, personable, as well as being totally professional. I highly recommend his company!"

"Mario completed the job within a week of calling him, promptly and with no fuss. He was communicative during the entire process and easy to work with. When I requested a modification for framing after the drywall was already hung he was accommodating. The finished room looks wonderful and I would recommend them for their timeliness, professionalism, and attention to the client."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

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.

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.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
