"Hired Angus for clearing approximately one acre with a rock road to be laid down. , He gave a fair quote and began the work about a month later but within expected time frame. When he was done i was happy with the work he did and especially handling the removal of the material cleared. The road came out better then expected. He is professional and would recommend to anyone that needs work done. Price was reasonable and came in as quoted even gave him a bonus for doing good job. thank you, angus and southern site prep, i can use my land now. chris"

"DO NOT RECOMMEND. ZERO STARS. Very unprofessional, rude, uncaring, low quality of work. Had apron and culvert done, cars are scraping as you go up or down the driveway. At least one wheel is completely off the ground when attempting to drive up the apron. NOT properly functional at all. When we requested for a specific type of culvert to avoid scraping vehicles driving over (as recommended by the county), we were not listened to and no follow up from Dana (the owner) to let us know what he was installing and how it was not what we were expecting. Dana did not address our concerns for the quality of work done on both culvert and apron, his only response to complaints are “have a nice day”. If you want good quality AND functionality, stay far away from this company. Land clearing for us also performed by this company had buried debris without our knowledge prior to doing this and was only discovered when we were visiting the property to see the progress. Very strange to see this as it was not part of the job as discussed whatsoever. The owners of the property have a right to know what is being done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.
