"The Western Slope Cleaning Service responded immediately, way before any other business replied to my request for tree removal and carport repair. Lorenzo and George arrived to my property the same day, provided a reasonable estimate before departing. Sent me a written estimate in under 30 minutes, which I approved. Lorenzo and his crew began the next day, despite having to battle chilly and rainy weather. They stuck it out and finished removing two large trees, pressure washed two metal carports, sealed one carport and removed two gate posts for me. The crew did an excellent job cleaning up the site. They were all very polite, cordial and very professional. I will continue to utilize WSCS for a large list of projects needed on my property. Thank you Lorenzo, great job!"

"I hired B & S Excavation, in order to do a few jobs around my farm. Iâ  m trying to subdivide my place, and I needed to find someone who could bring a new water line into the property, and then separate the house and barn water. First job: Excavate a 1,540 ft trench, in order to bring a new water line in for my barn building. Then, connect the new line to the house, leaving the old line for the barn. Second job: Excavate another large ditch, in order to change some water line piping for the existing water well lines. Third job: Repairing a 12â  underground irrigation transmission line that had previously been damaged when the Elevate internet service was installed. Overall, I found Brandon and his team extremely easy to work with on my jobs. He took time to consult with me on every step of the way. If he was unclear on an issue, heâ  d drop everything in order to discuss things with me. Excavation work was done on a timely basis, although the weather interrupted the job at times. The team worked through some really bad weather days, which speaks to me of their dedication to their job. I was extremely impressed about Brandonâ  s ability to clean up the areas on my place that had been excavated. His skid steer work was excellent! You could hardly tell where he had worked, by the time he was done. Brandon did a fantastic job of communicating with me on the phone, especially when we were first discussing the job. He made sure to keep me in the loop, especially if he couldnâ  t make it out to my place for one reason or another. Good communication is key for me, and Brandonâ  s company always excelled in this area. The invoice totals I was charged for in this job were more than fair! Brandon and his team did many extras on the job, which werenâ  t always reflected on my bill. Since my funds were somewhat limited, I was really happy that he worked to give me a fair bill for the work heâ  d done. Overall, I cannot express how fully my expectations were met and exceeded by B & S Excavation! Wonderful people to work with! Professional, dedicated, and they really stand behind the work that they do. I will definitely hire them again, if I need excavation jobs done on my place in the future!"

"Would recommend Grover excavating for any of your excavating needs. Pete was very prompt and professional. Took out a large tree from my back yard. Removing the stump was a challenge that he met very well. There was minimal disruption to the rest of my yard. I will hire him for any future needs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.
