"We needed an old couch hauled. The communication with Haul for One was amazing! We were able to get them scheduled within the same week that we contacted them. They showed up on time and were very professional. I will definitely call them again if I ever need something hauled for us."

"We had a drainage issue in an area that was seeping in to our pole barn, which is a small and narrow area. Mitchell came and advised us on a solution which included grading a two vehicle parking area as well as the area beside the barn. Mitchell was very accommodating with working within our budget. He was so very friendly and professional the whole job. We are very satisfied with the outcome of his services. Would definately hire him again and guarantee you will not be disappointed when hire him for your project. Thank you Mitchell."

"We used Redline Excavation and Landscape to help prep our property and land for the installation of a 20 x40 metal building. Braden immediately began working to create the pad our building now sits on. It was evident he cares greatly about the work he does, and really takes customer satisfaction to heart. Our pad came together quickly, was level, and we had our building installed the same week. We cannot recommend Redline Excavation and Landscape enough! They are a small business with big heart."

"Quite literally “one call doesn’t all” with Buck’s. Very clean dumpsters and pickups/drop-offs are super quick and easy. Their response time is genuinely impressive - especially when you’re in a pinch. From the first call to being on location in such a short period of time, couldn’t ask for better service from Buck’s."

Customers say: Quick response

"Since moving to Indiana, I’ve had two other companies working on my yard. It was a complete mess. For the past couple of years, I’ve seen Larry’s sign (he happens to live just around the corner), and thought “what the heck. I’ve already spent $$ what’s a little more.” Well, God sent me an angel. Larry is everything that the previous reviewers have said and more. Yard looks beautiful, grass is finally growing under the tree. You absolutely cannot go wrong in hiring Rocksolid, Larry, and his crew. P.S. I will be dropping my present snow removal company and hiring Larry for the job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
