"He contacted me quickly when I submitted my request at Angi. He asked me to send a picture of the stump I needed removed. He quoted me through ANGI at a price LESS than what it would cost to rent a stump grinder. He was done in 20 minutes and the area looked exactly how he found it minus the stump. He was timely, kept in contact throughout the day until he arrive and did an amazing, efficient job."

"Glen and his crew performed a myriad of projects on an investment property of mine in Pomfret.   Their initial work was to install two gable dormers and a balcony, but I liked their work so much I had them tile a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, frame and sheetrock walls, install siding, paint, and they are still on the job helping me get done ahead of my original deadline.     I plan to work with him on several other renovation projects in the future...

"I hired DALTT Land Clearing to remove my above ground pool, pool deck, and other old junk and debris from my yard. The owner, Don, was professional, punctual, and very informative throughout the entire process. The job was done in a day and I am very pleased with the outcome. Very reasonable price was an added bonus. I would highly recommend hiring DALTT Land Clearing if you have a similar job to be done or other excavating needs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

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.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.
