"We are so pleased with the outcome of this project. We had grading issues identified at inspection that we procrastinated on for 3.5 years. We went back and forth over what to do with this area to fix the grade and we ended up going with a retaining wall and backfill. Great Plains did great work - I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!"

"He did an amazing job! Completed the job in one day, 230 linear feet of chain link fence, and three gates. He even came out the next day and lowered a few spots for us for free. And ontop of the great job that was done, he also helped me with cutting down a tree that had fallen in my backyard due to a storm that had rolled through the previous night. Great work! Great prices!"

"We highly recommend First Grade Excavating. We contacted Richard Hancock concerning drainage issues on our newly purchased home built in the 50's. It was clear from our 1st meeting he had the knowledge, experience and sense of urgency to get the job done. His passion for what he does, and good nature provided outstanding customer service, ensuring we understood our options to help make the best decision to correct the drainage effectively and within our budget. He was very responsive to our calls and questions and most of all got the job complete per his commitment. I have high expectations when it comes to Customer Service and Richard went above and beyond in every category."

"John & Jeff were the only company that came out to our demo project site to give us a bid. They showed up and started when they said they would and finished ahead of schedule with a huge demo project. We had two homes including a concrete basement removed along with several sheds and trash. They went above and beyond to make our future home site was beautiful and were reasonably priced compared to other bids we received. Thank you!"

"I caught Donnie when he was doing the neighbors fence and asked him to quote what he would charge for a 12' fence with a 4' gate that would match the neighboring fence. He gave me the bid and said he could do it in tandem with the neighbors fence. I accepted and could not be happier. I expected to have to await my turn in line after previous bids, but they did it at the same time. My family is very happy since we have grandkids and granddogs that will benefit being able to be in the backyard. Oh, and they also cleaned out some old vines and brush that I did not even ask them to do. I only gave 5 stars because you cannot give any more."

Excavating FAQs, 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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
