"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."

"I was impressed by their quick response to my emergency call. The project was more serious than I or they anticipated, but it was clear they knew what they were doing and performed the work within 24 hours. Pretty big expense, but they worked their butts off, solved the problems, and cleaned up afterwards. Nice people, too!"

"He did a great job unassembling a metal bed for me and removing it along with the mattress and other things. He then assembled a new metal bed and put the new mattress on for me. He was very nice and cleaned up everything. I'd definitely recommend him. Thank you. The bed isn't made yet because it has to expand a few days."

"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

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

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.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

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.
