"Impressed by how very professional the entire team is. Placed an add for guttering to come and repair guttering that was incorrectly put on by original builder. Was immediately contacted, by Branch Out Gutters and a bid was given and scheduled an appointment within a week. The installation team was very professional and when they were finished the area was clean. I truly appreciate this company and will highly recommend them to anyone."

"Fast friendly service. Ended up getting 12 yds for a good price. Good quality soil with just a few rock in it, but perfect for integrating with native soil."

"I had Louie & Sons Excavating remove my pool, deck, and fence. Had them grade and slope the yard. They provided a detailed proposal with all items listed. Their work was excellent, I could not be happier. They are highly skilled equipment operators and are very easy to work with. If you need excavating work I highly recommend Louie & Sons Excavating. Excellent work at a fair price."

"I have known this man for most of my life, he has always been very helpful and been there for others if they have needed help with anything. He is very responsible and a very kind person. I know he is honest and very hard working and I would recommend him for hire. He has spread gravel for one of my family members and did a very nice job."

"We thought we had a sinkhole but Corbin determined it was a huge, old septic tank! In one day it was fixed. He communicated well and tried hard to repair grass spots that equipment dug into as well as smoothing out the fill dirt. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

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.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.
