"My back yard, on a 45 degree angled slope, was overgrown with brush at least twenty years old. Some branches were reaching over onto the second story of my house. The whole thing posed a fire hazard. Akua and Rusty cleared a “forest” worth of brush with hand-held tools. The clearance on either side of my house was not enough to allow large equipment. These two men worked hard and efficiently. They were on time and professional. Communication was excellent and the price was fair. All of this wood had to also be chipped and hauled away. When done, they left the project site clean as if they weren’t even there. I could not be more pleased with their service and I highly recommend this company."

"Kaipo Namahoe contacted me immediately following my inquiry and arrived on the same day as my request. He was professional and delightful to work with. He went above and beyond the “handyman” request by figuring out how to solve a problem he had never faced before this situation. He disassembled a closet module on day one and returned on day 4 to reinstall the unit. Kaipo is multitasked and dependable. His work is of the best quality. I highly recommend Kaipo for any job you need done around the house. I plan to call him next time I require help for an repair or a haul away. It is always worth asking Kaipo if it is a job he has the skill to complete because his work is excellent. Finally, Kaipo's pricing is fair and resonable."

"Cutting Edge was a great choice in taking care of yard clean up, mowing, tree trimming, and they even helped in cementing in my flag pole. They were efficient, reliable, and hard-working. Prices were fair and worth every dollar! The projects were done quickly and with a careful eye. If you want any landscaping work done on Maui, I highly recommend Cutting Edge."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.
