"I recently hired Greg and his crew for tree work at my property, and I am extremely satisfied with the results. Greg was highly responsive to my request for a quote, promptly scheduled a visit to assess the job, and provided a very competitive price. The work involved trimming three trees — one in the front yard and two in the backyard — to clear them from the roofline. Although there was a slight delay on the day of the job due to unforeseen complications, Greg and his team arrived ready to work and completed the project as scheduled. They ensured all debris was thoroughly cleaned up, leaving the yard in excellent condition. Overall, Greg and his team exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. I will certainly be using their services again for any future tree work. Thank you, Greg and team!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
