"Jeremy reached out as soon as I had completed my general request for bids. He met with me that afternoon, reviewed the job, provided some professional input and gave me a quote. Had 2 large oak stumps ground down along with a couple of smaller stumps and all within a couple of hours. The work area was cleaned up before he left. Jeremy is very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. His company will be the first I call for future landscaping needs."

"We needed help removing a stump so we can get our boat parked when we move from MD to Fl. Well, they removed 3! Very pleasant, very fast and very efficient. We will definitely hire again because, they do a lot more than just stumps. What a Blessing!"

"I recently moved from the northeast area to central Florida. And doing so was a big effort for us. We bought a wonderful older home but in order to make it "ours", we wanted to do a number of internal and external renovations, and quickly. From the moment I first met Jermaine I knew he was the right person for us. Jermaine's professionalism, construction knowledge, patience, planning and organizational skills, and friendly caring personality won me over. Throughout the entire 5 months long daily renovation Jermaine and his crew stayed on target and absorbed numerous add-ons without hesitation or concern. The quality was always good and pricing was always fair and reasonable. Time and time again Jermaine and his team went above and beyond what anyone would expect. I still cannot believe the amount of renovations that were done in only 5 months. It is truly amazing! The final results gave us the beautiful, comfortable home we were seeking here in FL! THANK YOU Jermaine!! Al B."

"The crew did a wonderful job at removing the palm tree. They filled in the hole with soil and covered with rock that matched the rest of the landscaping. In addition, I had them trim the rest of the bushes and holly tree. All of it looks great."

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.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

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.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.
