"After trying for 2 days, calling every insulation specialist and contractor in cedar rapids on Google. No one would reply or help with the insulation for my mobile home saying the job is not worth it. Finally after going on Angi I found cade. He went out of his way to come fix my insulation Underneath my mobile home. He came the same day after normal business hours to fix my damages at night time. Cause he was worried about my pipes freezing that night. He was very polite and professional. I would highly recommend cade. I will also be calling him in the future if I have any more problems."

We pride ourselves on in the work we do for our customer\nClean Fence rows\nClear trees and shrubs on farms\nDo odd jobs with Excavator/Skid Loader\nBuild roadways\nDig footings\nDig basements\nHelped contractor with sports complex putting in drainage

1 of 4 driveways crossing deep creek
Start of extending pond and reshaping pond
Cleared about 4000' of trees and shrubs and old fence line
Culvert put in 4 and 4 new driveways . Reshaped the creek so if there is a flood it does not take out driveway and worked out great
About 350 dump truck loads hauled out and filled a large revine for customer. We leveled out revine and seeded down so they could build a large dog fence for dogs to run.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.
