"We are so happy with everything this company has done! We cannot stop singing their praises. They went above and beyond to restore the master bathroom which was a massive undertaking. They also restored the master bedroom, removed a ton load of junk, redid the basement floors, painted walls, repaired water damage and even gave sound advice on other concerning things around the home and the landscaping and so much more. Wow! What an undertaking. And it was done with grace, patience and the highest level of professionalism. They kept us calm throughout the process when things became overwhelming for us. We will use them for all our contracting and landscaping needs. What a great experience and beautiful outcome. A million thank youâ s!!!!!!! God bless."

"Such a great experience from beginning to end! They helped repair a roof and rotted wood from a 35-40 foot high roof on a historic condominium building in Midtown Atlanta. There were a number of complicated logistics with equipment and custom cutting and installation. Final House are experts at what they do and can help you accomplish an array of complicated projects with ease."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

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.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
