"Cody was easy to communicate and work with: returned calls and/or texts timely, listened carefully to my stated goals, then he and Roger traveled from a distance to my overgrown, jungle-like property and gave it a 9-hour haircut, leaving it looking trimmed, healthy and making it much more accessible for use. Exceeded my highest expectations. In one day, saved me years of weekend work I neither have the time nor capabilities to perform successfully. Their Fecun brush mulching monster was a wonder to behold in action. Not only was the work down superbly well, but the whole operation was amazing and entertaining to observe first hand. Their mulcher shredded overgrown and thick vegetation (much of it as large as full-grown Russian olives) in an incredibly short time. What remained on the grown resemble "beauty bark" which will work its way back into the soil and avoids the need for burning (putting massive amounts of smoke into the air) or hauling to a dumpsite (adding to cost). On top of all of that, Cody and Roger (son and father team) are great people to hang around with. Nice folks with a good sense of humor. Best money I have ever spent on land management, and I recommend CK Excavating to anyone without reservation. Will no doubt bring them back at some time in the future for more help."

"Driveway is amazing. Can't wait for the other work. Quick, efficient and not a arm & a leg very affordable. Which isn't something we say much anymore with high inflation"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

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.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.
