"I had a sewer pipe issue in my front yard that had to be dug up and repaired and needed the pile of dirt the plumbing company left in my front yard graded and hydroseeded. I got online and we’re looking for landscapers and contractors in Davenport Iowa in the Quad cities and they responded right away and had a great price. Highly recommended!"

"I hired Scott to do some mowing and weed eating at my house. I also mentioned to him that I needed my gutters cleaned as well. I was not sure if his company did this but they offered to go rent a ladder and have it done the next day. I was very impressed with how my lawn looked! He also cleaned up the mess that was left over from the weed eating and gutters! I was extremely happy with my services and will be getting a hold of him for future projects. 09/16/2019 Update: I had orignially hired scotty to do a fence rebuild after somebody had backed into it at our business. He was quick with his quote, and had the job done within 1 week We decided to have him back to fill some of our holes in our parking lot. We wanted to be a little cheaper on the filling, so we asked Scotty for his opinion and have been happy ever since. He has a great vision for what each project will look like. After having multiple issues with our last snow removal contract we contracted Scott to come and take over. We have not had any issues with that either. He always has the snow removed by the time our business opens. Have not had any issues with him yet."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

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.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
