"This was a hard removal. It was a cement surface over my concrete pool deck. It had to be removed with an industrial size grinder that looked like a big floor polisher. The work was dirty and dusty but at the end of the day and throughout the job, it was being continuously cleaned and dry vacuumed. Every evening (it took 5 days) the completed areas had been cleaned and left neatly. They moved my furniture, my plants, everything and then returned it. Hire them. They are already hired for another project. Highly recommend without hesitation."

"I'll start with the positive points: Anthony pulled the permit as promised, even taking the county-required encroachment form to the correct location at the Broward County Courthouse. He started the job when promised, and at my request saved the sod that was dug up so I could move it to the back yard. He held to the contract, charging exactly the amount in it, no more, no less. However, the job, which Anthony initially told me would take a maximum of 2 weeks, took a month to the day to complete. Anthony wanted to start the job 2 days after a major flooding event in my city, during which my entire property had been under water for about 24 hours. I expressed concern about this, but Anthony insisted it would not be a problem. He then came out and began tearing out my old driveway. He worked approximately half the day before cutting out saying that his equipment (bobcat) couldn't get any traction in the still wet earth. The final job looks anything but professional. It has 3 or 4 different textures applied to the concrete and a pronounced change of height in the slab where the first load of concrete ended and the second began. The edges are not straight. Rather than pouring the sidewalk separately like every other contractor who did this type of work in my neighborhood, he poured the sidewalk at the same time and simply cut it out with a concrete saw. He did not remove whole sections of the sidewalk, but cut out the old sidewalk at the edges of the driveway. There are footprints all over the driveway and sidewalk where he walked on them before the concrete was set. He managed to splash concrete all over my garage door in the process. Finally, he did not manage to do the one thing that I was insistent on from the beginning: my finished driveway pools water at the end near the street. When I asked him about all these deficiencies, his answer was, "No job is perfect"."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.
