Customers say: Quick response

"I truly enjoyed working with Shawn. â Shawn is professional and very courteous. The custom glass shower installation is perfect. This was a new project of this type for Shawn and he executed beautifully - he truly is a very skilled craftsman. Additionally, Shawn removed an old 70â s style bar (big and ugly) and finished out the bar area nicely. His competent helper Luis, tore out and rebuilt the dilapidated side walking deck that was previously installed without footers, now itâ s solid and safe. Shawn also did several other little projects for me as well which were all great. He even traveled a good deal to my job site. I would absolutely recommend him. Ensure you are clear about the work being done. We had a disconnect on the bathroom wall area that was not resolved, and its beyond my skill level to resolve it. I may not have understood as clearly as I should have regarding the extent of the work. Good communication is key with everyone."

"After our home burned down we found Grand Lake Excavating to do our clean up and demo. They were great! Mike and his team handled everything with our insurance company and we couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend them and look forward to working with them on the construction of our new house."

Excavating questions, 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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

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.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
