"AP Excavating installed a drinking post for our horses and replaced a water hydrant. Wonderful father and sons family business - great to work with them and their crew. I was impressed with the quality of work and their commitment to making sure they exceeded our expectations. I will be using them for our next projects: entry gate, trenching work and landscaping driveway island. Thank you AP Excavating!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Rich and his crew, who transformed my outdoor space over the course of two weeks. They created a beautiful patio, fixed my sprinkler system, repaired the edging, and added rock to enhance the landscape. Rich’s attention to detail was evident when he identified that my French drain needed replacement and suggested sealing my back patio. His expertise and proactive approach made a significant difference in the quality and longevity of the work. I highly recommend Rich and his crew for any landscaping needs. Their professionalism, skill, and dedication to their craft are truly commendable."

I couldn't believe how nice and fun his crew was they had my driveway installed in no time, actually a day early! I have no doubt its going to last for years to come. I would recommend these guys to anyone who needs an excavator!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

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.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.
