"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."

"I hired Divide creek construction to do a remodel on my camper and it came out amazing, tore out old rotted flooring and boards, made a new bed frame out of oak for me and made the bed room big with more space to moved around, they also tore out the cheap water damaged flooring and replaced it with new interior wood flooring, they did such an amazing job with their work if I have more remodeling or building jobs in the future I?ll definitely hire them again!!!!!!"

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. 

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
