"Isaac and his assistant provided excellent service in removing one of our Blue Spruce trees. It was a costly project, but we expected that due to the complexity of the removal process. They arrived on the scheduled date and spent almost seven hours in reducing our tree to a stump, which we will need to camouflage. We decided to remove the tree as it had grown so tall and wide it became too close to our home and that of our neighbor. With heavy winds and threat of lightening storms, it was the right decision for us. The cut branches necessitated two trailerloads to haul away, meaning two trips to the disposal site, and they never complained in the 95+degree weather. The cleanup was very thorough, and we are happy to highly recommend this company to others."

"This contractor showed up and did the work when they said they would. Their work was thorough and I was pleased with the end product so much so that I asked them for additional estimates for other concrete work I had in mind. When they gave me the estimate for these other concrete work, they requested an additional $3,000 above their estimate to cover losses on the original job. They requested this without any sort of backup that itemized their losses. In the course of performing the original work that I hired them to do, they never mentioned that they under bid the job and was losing money. If they had, I might've been open to some sort of negotiations. Instead they decided to just arbitrarily add it on the next project without any sort of justifications. Based on this, I cannot recommend this contractor even though I was satisfied with their work."

"Noel did a beautiful job on our landscaping project last year. All of our neighbors compliment us on the new look of our front yard. He is very professional and followed up several times to check on everything. He is very easy to work with and listened to what we wanted and followed through. He was very helpful with suggestions to make the project have the best possible outcome. Great experience working with Noel! I highly recommend him."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

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. 

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
