I have a small compact tractor capable of getting into small tight spaces for any outdoor digging or dirt moving project you may have. My tractor is small and lighter than bigger construction equipment so it is easier on your lawn.

"Hired from Yellow Pages, to redo steps and sideway. a) Work was completed in a shoddy and hurried manner b) Left the work area with concrete pieces, cigarette butts, nails, and even a large iron rod strewn all over. Did not bother to clean up, damaged the lawn, with no attempt to fix any of it. c) The steps had large jagged gaps under it (not fully reaching the ground), refused to address it until I threatened to go the BBB with a complaint. d) When he finally did show up, he patched it poorly, leaving the front stairs to my house worse than before the project. e) One side of the steps still has a piece of concrete jutting out, which he hasn't bothered to address. I will most likely get this rebuilt in the future, I would advise others to not pay, until full inspection of work from this provider (I paid him in full faith, which was error in judgement on my part)."

"Failed to show up on agreed upon work date due to overbooking. Bid vinyl for an aluminum replacement, then was unresponsive about bidding aluminum. When we decided to go elsewhere, six months later they sent us an invoice for an additional, arbitrary $3k for work not performed. We disputed the invoice and never heard back until we got another invoice another seven months later seeking double the original amount including monthly interest and an ‘overhead & profit’ fee."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.  

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
