"This family owed business knocked it out of the park! I needed some serious cleanup on my property; tree trimming, tree removal, and more. Got a great quote, fast scheduling, and a beautiful finish. All of the workers I met were so friendly and happy to be on site. Will use again and recommend to friends and family over and over again. Thanks for taking care of us A.P.

"Larry and his crew performed shoreline stabilization and erosion control services on the lake where we live. They also cleaned up the shoreline and installed special geotextile fabric before installing over 2 tons of riprap. The crew did an amazing job and finished way ahead of schedule. I am recommending this company to other neighbors and will happily use them for future work. I’ve attached before and after photos."

"Steve was so wonderful to work with. We needed someone to excavate and grade our side yard in preparation for laying gravel. He was very timely in getting us scheduled and his work was very well done. Overall, Steve was a clear communicator, gave a fair price, and took care to ensure we were happy with the results of his work. I would highly recommend him!"

"We hired Bill primarily because he offered a plan for repairing our sinking flagstone patio steps. We had had several other contractors out to inspect and advise. Nobody was interested in taking on this project. There was lots of conflicting advice...tear it out and start over, hire mud jackets, hire push pier operators, etc. Only Bill said he could repair the steps and return them to close to their original form. And he did it in a very clever way. He carefully removed the middle steps and drilled holes into the concrete slab until he was able to split it in half. He then used large pry bars to raise the upper portion. He filled in the gap with stones and concrete and then reinstalled the original flagstones. The end result looks very much as it did fifteen years ago when originally built. Bill advised us that in addition to the sinking patio steps, there were several other problem areas needing attention, mostly having to do with preventing water damage. But the biggest additional problem he discovered was that the brick siding on our house had been installed with no anchors to the walls!!! In some places, the brick was separating from the wall and there were gaps at the top where water could get in. Bill reinforced the brick walls with many large screws. Amazingly, you cannot even see them unless you really look close. I am so glad we discovered Vintage Stoneworks. The disasters Bill has likely saved us from are horrifying to contemplate. Thank you, Bill, for all you did to improve and protect our home."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

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.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
