"A representative came out an reviewed what we needed, The crew came out the following week and worked continuously trimming shrubbery, clearing leaves, trimming out dead debris (recent cold caught several things), took out some old shrubs, laid pine straw, and miscellaneous items. The yard looked transformed. Would recommend this service and the price was excellent. John and his crew were very professional, Plan to have another project in the Spring."

"Tyrone responded very quickly following my online request for furniture removal. He was very polite and gave me a quote over the phone after I sent home some pics of the sofa and recliners needing removal. He made an appointment for the next morning. His crew, Keonte and Josiah arrived promptly as scheduled. Tyrone even called to let me know they were about 10 minutes away. The team was extremely polite and respectful of my property and had the items removed and loaded in no time. I highly recommend their services, and I will definitely reach out to them for my future needs!"

We couldn't be happier with the results. No surprises, just 5 STAR service!"

"Salazar replaced two separate retaining walls at my residence, demolishing and removing old/inadequate brick walls and replacing with proper full size blocks and capstones. In addition, they added a small concrete pad adjoining my Ssltillo patio and installed matching tile. Their work is very high quality and exhibits superb craftsmanship and care. I highly recommend them !"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

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.

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.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
