"Haul for One provided EXCEPTIONAL services. They actually showed up early (called first to make sure it was OK), then they worked their tails off loading up and hauling off a trailer full of construction debris, even a lot of very heavy concrete blocks, all while maintaining a very friendly, pleasant attitude. Not one complaint from them even though it was a hot, itchy, bug filled couple of hours. Their price for the work was very reasonable; significantly less than other companies. Plus they arranged their schedule to be there the very next morning (a Saturday morning) after I called so I could stay on schedule. I would highly recommend this company."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sterling’s Affordable Excavating! ! They recently completed an excavating project for me, and the entire experience far exceeded my expectations. From the initial quote through the completion of the job, Casey was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. His attention to detail is truly exceptional. He takes tremendous pride in his work and is an absolute perfectionist, and it shows in the finished product. Every detail was handled with care, and the final result was even better than I had envisioned. I obtained three quotes before choosing Sterling’s Affordable Excavating, and I am extremely confident that I made the right decision\. Not only was the pricing competitive, but the quality of the work, communication, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart\. It is refreshing to work with a company that genuinely cares about doing the job right and making sure the customer is completely satisfied\. **St"

"Michael did a great job installing a drain box in the front of our house. He was prompt, professional, and priced reasonable. He even came back to help us to adjust the box slightly. We appreciate his helpfulness and would highly recommend him."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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. 

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.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
