"Happy Handyman LLC in my opinion the best contracting company I have ever used. They installed a roof on an existing out of square building and did a magnificent job. Dealing with Tracy, the owner, was an absolute pleasure. Her crew was very knowledgeable, courteous, professional and respectful. I will definitely hire then again and am informing my friends of there excellent work. I recommend them to everyone!"

"I hired Outdoor Visions to install almost 60 trees as a privacy hedge. Austin was friendly and very communicative, and he and his crew did a great job. They showed up on time, finished quickly, and cleaned up afterwards. I will definitely be hiring them again in the future!"

"Exelent service and quality from woodchuck land management crew! They guys showed up on time and got straight to work. Being as I am in a neighborhood everything is real tight and thereâ s not much room to mulch/grind trees and brush, they crew left my property looking 100xâ s better than they found it. Would strongly recommend WLM to anyone that is wanting to add REAL value to their property."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
