"Jose called me promptly and look at the tree to be removed on Sunday in Mccordsville/Fishers. He called me back with an estimate. I then asked for another tree to be removed as well. They came two days later on time. Remove both trees and did cleanup and even clean the debris from our neighbor's drive. Also they checked and cleaned the gutters. Good job guys"

"My family experienced water and wind damage earlier this year. We had to be placed in a hotel. After reaching out to numerous companies, we chose Maynor construction. I am glad we did!! If it wasnâ t for Maynor and his staff, I wouldnâ t have made it. The process was long and depressing because of being away from home. However Maynor and his staff reassured me. They showed patience with me and worked hand and hand with my insurance company with getting my home repaired in a timely manner. Thank you Maynor! I truly feel like we are family!"

"Huge shoutout to B&C Property Solutions! We just finished a basement remodel and the place was covered in that typical post-construction drywall dust. B&C came in and wiped out every bit of it. The team showed up on time, worked fast, and didn't miss a thing. Walked down after they were done and the space was completely spotless and ready to use. If you need clean-up after a home project, definitely give them a call."

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 FAQs, answered by experts

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
