"It can be nearly impossible to get tradesmen to work on mountain homes, even in emergencies. Demand far outstrips supply, I guess. Most can't even return calls. Not so with White Elk. They did not know me from Adam, but I got a callback right away and an offer to put in the extra hours and miles to attend to my good pump emergency. Fortunately, the problem resolved itself quickly, but I really appreciate that White Elk was willing to step up."

"I truly enjoyed working with Shawn. â Shawn is professional and very courteous. The custom glass shower installation is perfect. This was a new project of this type for Shawn and he executed beautifully - he truly is a very skilled craftsman. Additionally, Shawn removed an old 70â s style bar (big and ugly) and finished out the bar area nicely. His competent helper Luis, tore out and rebuilt the dilapidated side walking deck that was previously installed without footers, now itâ s solid and safe. Shawn also did several other little projects for me as well which were all great. He even traveled a good deal to my job site. I would absolutely recommend him. Ensure you are clear about the work being done. We had a disconnect on the bathroom wall area that was not resolved, and its beyond my skill level to resolve it. I may not have understood as clearly as I should have regarding the extent of the work. Good communication is key with everyone."

"After our home burned down we found Grand Lake Excavating to do our clean up and demo. They were great! Mike and his team handled everything with our insurance company and we couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend them and look forward to working with them on the construction of our new house."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

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.
