"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"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.

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.

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.
