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

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

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.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.
