"I hired Israel Trucking throughTerrence Underwood and his team to remove trees and debris after Hurricane Helene. They did an excellent job of removing and grinding a fallen cedar tree and other trees and debris in my yard. They also tore down and removed a shed and it's many contents out of my backyard. Although the entrances to my backyard were too narrow for them to use some equipment that would've made the job easier, Terrence and his team cleared the yard and it's contents by hand -- with no complaints. I am excited about continuing to work with them for future projects. The services were scheduled quickly after I contacted them. They take pride in making sure to clean up well. The team worked without supervision and were true to their word....I didn't have to worry about whether they would show up or not. Finally, the prices for services were very affordable - they didn't' try to take advantage of me as a customer. I highly recommend Israel Trucking for fantastic work! "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

On average, you’re looking at about 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging—such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
