"Eric came to us highly recommended. We discussed the project and he was able to get us on the schedule fairly quick. As the project progressed, he had an idea for drainage issues we had. We agreed to have him move forward with it. The drainage issue is resolved along with the original work of removing several tons of rock and regrading for water drainage and natural plant growth on our land. Eric was always friendly, easy to discuss our problems with, and had great solutions. We had landscapers quote us up to 2 weeks to finish this work and Eric completed it in 4 days with excellent quality."

"This project with Rito of C & R Field Services could not have gone better, and I am 100% satisfied. Rito was very communicative from beginning to end, sharing with me his timing, costs, and process along the way. He worked long days, including in a snow storm, until the project was done. When I needed a tall gate panel that didn't exist in that form, he improvised by finding what I wanted and welding on the spot the necessary hinges to make it work, which it does perfectly. Impressive! The craftsmanship of the fence is impeccable, something that looks great and I am proud to have on my property. Rito also provided excavation work for me, as well as demo of a dog run and big tree house, taking everything to the dump for me after. He went the extra mile with everything he did, providing kindness and professionalism at every step. I fully plan to utilize Rito's expertise and services for any project I possibly can. He and his work are quality all the way around."

"The work I requested was a plantar wall and box. We discussed the project when Rueben came out to give me a free estimate. I was pleased with the quote and work started within two weeks of the meeting. The crew started on a Monday and would have been done within two days but we had a full day of rain then snow. The finished project turned out beautiful. The crews were on time, courteous and worked hard. Rueben was easy to deal with on every count. Highly recommend this company!!"

"Great work by Reicher and his brother (never got his name). The only bump in the road was that the area was a little crooked at first, but they immediately corrected. I would recommend them for their professional attitude and price. They even pushed my shed up onto the pavers after they were done."

"Impeccable service and attention to detail! Very mindful of a homeowner's time and scheduling! A+. I was given different options on design. Both elaborate and the basic plans. I chose somewhere more towards the elaborate end because it was unique and I could see it would be sustainable with regular care. If you just had your home built and need a landscape design and plan, I highly recommend them If you're a homeowner that just wants some work done or a remodel. I would say the same! It is refreshing for someone to do the work that you were expected to be done and do it with attention to detail quality and professionalism. I have something that I do when I conduct business with a company. I ask myself, Would I work for this company? Would I want my children or a close friend to work for them ? Yes in all cases!

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

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.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
