"Shaun from Treework was great. He gave me a reasonable estimate and completed the work within 3 days of start. He took down 2 large trees and trimmed back a large bush on the side of house. They also cleared a large area behind my house that gotten severely overgrown because of neglect on my part. I will definitely use Treework again for and future projects. Thanks"

"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!"

"Jeff did a great job with my landscaping. He heard from me often as I made many requests / changes throughout the project, and he followed through with all of them. Will be contacting Jeff again to develop a plan for the back of my home. Highly recommend you give Jeff a call for your next landscaping project."

"Hired Chastain Land Development to do some work related to invasive bamboo-root-removal. Additionally had stumps removed, as well as some light grading work completed. They?re very upfront and transparent. They were very responsive and quick to complete all required work. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for any of the services they can provide. Overall, I greatly appreciated the honesty, professionalism, and capabilities of the company."

"David did a great job on my driveway, it was really messed up with concrete that was poured by another company and not smoothed out right. After David and his helper were through my driveway looked great!! I would recommend this company to anyone that needs any work that they specialize in. David is a good Christian man and a sweetheart, very nice and polite. His helper (sorry, I didn't get his name) is very nice and polite also. Thanks David for your help and if I need anything else done, I will give you a call."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.

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.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
