"I couldn’t have asked to hire a better company for the job. I told them what I wanted and they brought the picture in my head to life even down to the slightest detail. The owner Colby is very good at communicating and explains everything down to a t. I would highly recommend them to anyone no matter how big the job is!!"

Hey everyone, my name is Hudson Lott. I recently started my own land clearing business and I’m working hard to build a name for myself and my company.\n\nI spent the last 6 years working for other land clearing businesses before deciding to take the leap and go out on my own. I’ve learned a lot over the years, and now I’m putting that experience into my own business.\n\nI take a lot of pride in my work and always strive to leave every property looking right and make sure the landowner is happy with the job. I believe in doing honest work, taking care of my customers, and treating every job like it matters.\n\nI’m just getting started, but I’m excited to see where this business goes. If you or someone you know needs land clearing or property cleanup, I’d appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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.
