Customers say: Super punctual

"Wow! Jeremy & his crew did an EXCEPTIONAL job clearing our site. There were trees, shrubs, random junk, large areas of cement and even sections with slabs of concrete half a foot thick and they just handled it all! Their pricing was reasonable, the scheduling was fast & convenient, and we could not be happier with the outcome. They left a very clean site behind. They are true pros. We will tell everyone we know about Conway Land Clearing & Site Prep!"

"The owner, Jessen Williams, is a professional in his field and strives to provide the best service in a timely and affordable manner. His crew are the hardest working men and once they have finished the project they leave the property in superb condition. I have used another company many times and they donâ t even come close to the quality of work provided by American Tree Solutions. I should also mention that the pricing is more than fair and once your project is completed you will be so pleased that you will use American Tree Solutions in the future."

"Charles was awesome! Called me the same day I inquired and was able to give a good ballpark quote when I explained the scope of work. He even coordinated the dirt dump for us. He and his team did a very professional job leveling the ground for a large above ground pool. I was extremely pleased with the work and with the quick replies to my inquiries for scheduling the work. Hands down, I would call him again! Thank you so much!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Very professional. I've never seen anyone take the time to clean up like they did! They made sure nothing was left behind. I've had tree work done in the past, and the tree guys have always left a big mound of things behind that I'd have to deal with.. but not these guys! Hands down, they are the best I've ever seen!!"

"We were looking for a company to remodel our kitchen with the sketch we had drawn, we met with 5 companies, no one stood out like NOCO Kitchen and Bath, they understood our reconfigured kitchen concept. Well, we hired them and couldn't be happier!! From great pricing, their professional attention to detail and pride in their workmanship, cleanliness and constant communication; NOCO Kitchen and Bath was outstanding!! We are having them bid on our bathroom remodel! I HIGHLY recommend NOCO Kitchen and Bath for your remodeling needs!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
