"We had a great experience with this company! They came out and ground 2 stumps for us and did an excellent job. They were professional, dependable, and made sure everything was cleaned up when they were finished. The entire process was quick and hassle free, and we?re very pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing stump grinding or similar services. Thank you for a job well done."

"This was a great experience -- Margarito was very easy to talk with, and had a great understanding of what I wanted done on the first visit to give me an estimate. He was able to handle my landscaping needs a week later, and took care of everything. Most of the yard debris was cleaned up after completing the job; I loaded a wheelbarrow with the leftover stuff, and there were a few water bottles left from the team, but over all I was 100% pleased. I would definitely hire him and his crew again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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. 

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.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
