"The owner, Corey Chastain, is very dependable and reliable. He replies to inquiries promptly. He is very cost-conscious for the customer and does his best to keep course down. He graded my Gravel driveway which wasnâ t terrible condition And when he was finished, it was as perfect as it could be. He also gave me some professional opinion and advice about other gravel roadways on my property. I highly recommend him to anyone needing any sort of grading or landscaping done."

"I had a great experience hiring Casteel for my residential electrical project. My project included an inspection and "tune-up" of my home's load center. This involved an assessment and replacement of every branch circuit breaker in the box. My project also included the installation of an Eaton Whole Home surge protector. The project was completed quickly, in just under 2 hours. The electrician from Casteel was on-time, professional, and very well organized. I would strongly recommend Casteel for any residential electrical project."

"Water’s concrete did an awesome job of replacing our driveway! Blaine and his entire crew were extremely thorough with a keen eye on detail. The timing of this project was exceptional as the weather conditions were so unpredictable… they waited just long enough for everything to dry up and temperatures to rise to an acceptable level prior to even beginning the job. We couldn’t recommend a company more than Water’ concrete for your concrete projects. Thank you so very much for all your hard work and very competitive pricing! K&D"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.
