"I had to install an emergency egress window in my basement as part of a remodel project. This required excavation, demoing the finished basement interior to expose the concrete foundation, cutting an opening in the concrete, and installing the new window. Scott is very professional, honest, and very communicative. I knew exactly what was going to happen and what to expect. There were no surprises. I would highly recommend Crowbar for any home project falling within their area of expertise."

"We are very pleased with the work. Oscar did a great job in coming up with a beautiful 3D design for the patio and helping in selecting the right material. The crew was very professional and hardworking and they completed within the timeframe that was set. Great communication through the project and cleanliness post project. I would highly recommend them for brick and pavers projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
