Small jobs welcome

"George Brown and his team are the best tree removal crew we've ever hired. We were already huge fans of George because we were customers of his former lawn service business for years. It was hard saying goodbye to George in his lawncare capacity back a few years ago as he was truly the best and we really liked who he was as a person as well. We needed some very large trees removed from very close to the house recently and knew that George was the one to call. WOW, George and his crew did an incredible job!! They’ve got all the right heavy equipment and highly skilled staff who work in sync with one another in the process. They're the most efficient, skilled tree removal specialists we’ve ever hired and George truly goes the extra mile for his customers. All the “fallout” debris was cleaned up and hauled off afterward, the stumps were ground and the area around where they did the work was leveled and just beautiful. George is a man of integrity and kindness with an unparalleled work ethic. He’s found that in the staff he’s hired to work for him as well. George’s price is right, too! Someone you can trust to do the job right, all the way around!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
