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

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

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.
