"Sika masonry did a good job on my Rock wall. The boss, his son Seloti, and Tim are all hard workers and have met my expectations. They are finishing off the privacy fence now and they know what they are doing. They work at a good pace and do know their jobs. If I need anything else done I will call Sikhs Masonary again."

"Stuart had previously assisted me with several plumbing issues two years ago. Compared to other plumbers, I found him knowledgeable, very good at problem-solving, efficient, and thoughtful in explaining options. This year, my cast iron plumbing began to show signs of deterioration, but Stuart, along with his team, have diligently addressed a myriad of issues with patience, skilled work, and perseverance. I think any homeowner approaches major repair and remedial work with a certain amount of anxiety, but Stuart and his company have demonstrated proficiency and skills that I know can be relied upon."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

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.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.
