"Alex did a marvelous job cleaning out an area where my AC and pool equipment are located. It had overgrown weeds. He removed all the weeds, laid down tarp and placed pretty rocks there. Looks much cleaner and neater. He is very professional and price is very reasonable."

"Casper concrete did an amazing job on my front driveway and my front porch. The value of my property went up significantly. Due to the addition of my new beautiful driveway. They came in on time and finished it on time. Never had any problems with this company or its workers. I am very pleased with thier hard work. I would recommend Casper concrete to anyone in need of a new driveway or any concrete job needed done. Also their prices were very fair. ð"

"The company showed up on time, they were reasonably price and did a remarkable job of getting rid of all the weeds, planting trees, transplanting cactus, making recommendations for other things we can do and will be coming back on the 4th July holiday to do that part for me. Which is I'd say is going above and beyond, especially in this sweltering hot weather."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

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.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.
