Q: How do you cut through roots when digging?

• <div><p>There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How wide of a hole does a trencher make?

• <div><p>Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you&rsquo;d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).</p></div>

Q: Should I hire an excavation company for land grading or yard leveling?

• <div><p>Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they&rsquo;re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to thaw frozen underground pipes?

• <div><p>Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.</p></div>

Q: How close to the gas line can I dig?

• <div><p>Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homeowner-liable-damage-gas-line-contractor.htm">liable for hitting a gas line</a> in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.</p></div>
