"Trevor and his crew did an outstanding job. We are very pleased with their work. The large moss rocks look amazing. The red mulch really high lights and accentuates the different levels of landscaping. The dry river bed really adds depth to the whole project. The sod that was added on both sides of the sidewalk works great with the whole concept."

"Willie and Brandon did an excellent job excavating a trench for a gas line at our current home. They were quick to bid, communicated with us throughout the process, and were easy to get a hold of when we needed to make adjustments. We are very pleased with their quality of work, and hope to use them for future projects. Box T is an excellent, locally owned and family-run businessâ ¦hire them!"

"Honest. Respects the schedule and are on time every time. Careful of home owners property. Cuts tress into proper stove fit, in my case 16” cuts. Bids are lower than competitors. Careful cleanup. “Chips” throw away limbs. Crew is fast, safe and efficient. Tree cuts are stacked so that owner can fill tractor cart and tow to wood shed for stacking. Crew is polite and respectful with home owner. Always asks about using gates and travel over the property. I was extremely lucky to find these guys. I would definitely recommend them whole heartedly to anyone contemplating removing large trees “threatening” your home or garage, or barn as I had. Give them a shot…. You won’t be sorry!"

"Really good guy! He and his wife are kind of a team. They do really good work outdoor and indoor cleaning! Heather did a good job cleaning, indoor, it's spotless and his husband does the outside like the lawn! It was a little while back, but they did a great job and I was very impressed with their service!"

"These guys did an amazing job. Their work ethic is out of this world. Even when it came time for the cleanup they did not miss a beat. No nails or any debris let anywhere. I am talking about on the driveway, grass, yard, or even our neighbors yards. They were that thorough. I would give them a 10 out 10. These guys were very professional. I would recommend this company to all my friends and neighbors. Don was great to work with and I am referring him to all our friends and neighbors. 5 star rating!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
