Customers say: True professional

"Kudos to Rustic Remodel for a job well done. Patrick and helper arrived on time. They were professional and personable. They did an excellent job installing a door between the sunroom and dining room. They also assembled a dresser and repaired the wardrobe door. I was very impressed with the quality of the work and their work ethic. Will definitely hire again for other projects."

"I was very impressed with Creative Outdoor Design all around. First, the communication was great. Stacey told me when the crew would arrive. There was a one day delay and I was notified. The crew was very hard working, took great care on my property and went above and beyond. Left the sight in perfect condition. The foreman (Louis?) was very precise and made sure ever paver was level. Price was very fair. I highly recommend and would definitely Use them again."

"Excellent contractor . Will never use any other but them. They had ethics and provided a detailed explanation of the work they would be performing. They lived up to my expectations. My driveway looks great and other repairs that were done exceeded my expectations . Can’t say enough good about this company! The work was done in the timeframe they specified. They did what they said they would do and did it when they said they would as well. Again, they will remain my contractor going forward for any future needs."

"Jose and his team did an excellent job. I hire Cali Landscaping to plant 17 trees in my backyard to reduce noise from the road. They were very professional, even dug up some existing tree to try and save them. It was raining upon their arrival but that didn’t stop Cali Landscaping they proceeded with the project. Jose is very knowledgeable about design and planting trees and shrubs. Would recommend Cali Landscaping for any landscaping services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.

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.
