"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

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

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.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
