"PB came out to my property and removed trees that were next to my dog pens that had to be cut carefully to ensure none of my pens were damaged. They were timely, showed up when they said would be there and left a clean work area when finished. Will definitely be calling again in the future."

"Steve installed a paver patio at one of my houses and it came out perfect. It was a lot of work but he completed the project in a timely fashion. He also did some basement demo for me, removing some old fashioned wood paneling and ceiling tiles. He has a pleasant demeanor and is detail oriented. I will definitely use his services in the future!"

"Terry and his crew arrived ready to tackle many challenges that came with building my new deck. Faced with constant rain, more than a few changes to plans, and difficult terrain to navigate his equipment around, Terry never told me he couldn't do something. Creative Landscape is exactly that, "CREATIVE"! My new, upper and lower deck are finished. Terry was able to take mine and my wife's vision and build it. I have much more work to be done still. Creative Landscape will be doing all of my landscaping work."

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.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.
