"Working with Rykan and his team at Sawgrass Construction to perform a major home renovation was an absolute pleasure. Rykan maintained consistent communication with us throughout the process and was always available to meet us in person if needed. The quality of work and materials was excellent and his prices were very fair. Knowing we were under difficult time constraints, he expedited tasks to ensure there was minimal downtime which we greatly appreciate. We will only recommend Rykan, Jerry, and the rest at Sawgrass Construction and will definitely use them for any of our future home projects!"

"I couldn’t be more pleased with the work ! I gave actually thought I was in the wrong place when they answered because I was needing some plank flooring that was glued to the floor removed. They gave me a price again. I thought it was unrealistic that they could do it for that cheap they came out there used a technique. I’ve never seen before and had that plank up in no time. Thank you oh did I mention they did it all in the same day I called."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
