"Morning Star Excavating/Camerone and staff are top notch. Very professional and with a good quote which was what it was at the end. He went out of his way to make sure all was completed to our liking for what we needed and also looking forward to future projects making it easier to pick that up at a later date. Always has ideas on how to make it better and stays with the job until completed. Can't say enough good things about his work ethic and quality."

"I have worked with trackwest fencing on several occasions. They've always sent trustworthy people who can communicate well and produce a really good product. I've done a lot of fencing work in the past but they've always come up with new techniques that I learned from. I plan on working with this company on many occasions in the future."

"Kyle and Gus from Summit were great to work with. They cleared approx. 1/4 acre of trees and brush, leveled my build area with dirt available elsewhere on my property, contoured and compacted the remaining area in preparation for fabric and rock. We worked together on this project over 6 weeks, a few days at a time. Communication was good, pricing reasonable and great guys to work with."

"Outstanding arborist and excavator! Compared to other tree companies, Cody saved me thousands. He took down only the hazard trees that really needed to go and opened up my waterfront view without butchering trees or destabilizing my bank. With the money I saved I got extra clearing and grubbing that I wanted to do for years. On time, within budget and quality work. What more can you ask for?"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
