"Kevin is a skilled professional. He performed extensive tree removal and trimming on an extremely overgrown property. But that was not all. He also installed and repaired the property's fence, which had extensive damage from years of tree limbs falling on it. Additionally, he skillfully cleaned up and restored the neglected lawn. This past winter, he provided snow removal services in a timely and thorough manner. Honestly, I haven't found a project that Kevin can't handle. And I look forward to employing his expertise this summer and beyond. Above all else, Kevin is honest and fair, and he goes to any length necessary to get the job done."

"Cutter has saved me twice now when my boiler system wasnâ t functioning properly. I called numerous other companies and did not even receive a return phone call. Cutter got back to me almost immediately and even came to maintenance the system while I was away on vacation! Cutter is responsive, efficient, polite, trustworthy, and easy to work with."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
