"I had an inground pool demolition. Very pleased with work and especially that they left the area clean. Kayla the office manager is super sweet. They were very accommodating when I requested they cut the pool pump out and also dispose of it. I would recommend and I would hire them again."

"Bert showed up at the time he said he would, even advising me when he was 25 minutes out. He brought the mulch product I needed and helped me distribute it around my plants taking care not to damage any. Afterwards he cleaned up the residue. A courteous, friendly and industrious young man and would certainly hire him again if the need arose"

"hired James to level an 1,800-square-foot area and spread stone, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the beginning, James was responsive, handled ordering the stone, coordinated the delivery, and made the entire process easy. All I had to do was explain what I wanted, and he took care of everything else. On the day of the project, James arrived on time and took the time to walk through the job with me to make sure he fully understood exactly what I wanted before getting started. I really appreciated his attention to detail and his commitment to getting the job done right the first time. Overall, James was professional, reliable, and delivered exactly what he promised. The finished project turned out great, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. I will definitely be contacting him for future projects and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work."

"Chris arrived with his crew and replaced two drain lines from the gutters that were plugged with roots. The job was hampered by roots from an oak tree. These lines had been there for twelve years. They installed new lines and also added soil the fill in washed out areas, cleaned the area. They completed the job and left before the storms arrived. Thanks Chris for a great job!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.
