Morgan lumber was founded as a portable sawmill business but we also provide skid steer services, including driveway installation (of asphalt millings or concrete fines), land grading, bush hogging and a full tree service. We may not be a big organization, but honesty, integrity and just plain old hard work is a way of life for us and we are determined to complete your job to your upmost satisfaction. At Morgan Lumber and Earthworks, we work hard to do the best possible job, because we know word of mouth in the service industry can make or break a business. Call today to discuss your project.

"They did a great job! They came in and did everything they said they would. It all worked out fantastic for me!"

"Before I did this review I called this company multiple times to try to resolve my issue. Never did anyone ever call me back. I had worked with Nathan K. during the repipe due to some issue with how they performed the repipe. He corrected my issue and I was happy with the finished look. At the same time they were repiping my home the HVAC unit went out 10/6/2024. I asked if they would give a quote to replace this unit ($10,145.00) I approved to replace it. This is where the problems have been going forward with HVAC system. Whom ever installed the my system was not experienced or just had poor workmanship (per second HVAC company opinion). First issue was in December 2024 I got a power bill for my vacant home that was still being repaired from my slab leak for almost $400.00. I called Her and His about this. Nathan K. Called me and said they were no longer in the HVAC service since my install (This is not my problem its HER and His). He hired another company to come out and correct the installation mistake (apparently emergency heat would never cut off once the heat pump shut off). He never told me what they did to correct it. I asked him the help me with the $400.00 power bill since it was their fault. He said he would but never did anything about it. Going forward to September 2025. I have been try to sell or lease my home for 9 months (so no one is living in my home) with no luck. Finally I have a lease on it. The clients move in and start using HVAC system. 4 days later they call and said there is a water leaking up in my garage and back bed room floors. You can imagine how I feel at this point I got a sick feeling in my stomach (My I remind you I spent over $23,000 dollars with Her and His Plumbing to repair my home). We figured the leak was coming from HVAC system (This system is only 11 months old). So I called another HVAC company to come out. They found out the system was under charged with freon and the system was freezing up causing excessive condensation flow which flowed over the drip pan. Also they found ducting is not properly sealed at the supply plenum with no mastic tape, the platform was not leveled (this caused my floors to get wet) and NO PERMIT WAS PULLED FOR THE INSTALL OF HVAC TO LAKE COUNTY. We did do a permit for plumbing. What I want is accountability from this company to pay and fix my unit correctly? I have been patiently waiting for someone from this company to call but guess they got their money and they going to screw me. I am beyond ****** right now. The right thing to do is fix my issues ASAP. FYI, I am not going to let this go!!!!!!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.
