"Huge shout out to Double M Groundwork! 👏 They recently cleared land in our backyard, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They removed the trees all the way down to the roots, so we weren’t left with a yard full of stumps, gave us an incredible view of our pond again, spread everything out evenly, and left the property looking fantastic. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and got the job done right. It’s always a pleasure supporting a local business that takes pride in their work. If you’re looking for land clearing or excavation work, I highly recommend giving Double M Groundwork a call! Double M Groundworks LLC"

"I called Tracy Youngs for an estimate on a rain water drainage problem in my back yard. Within a day he contacted me and went over every option available. Tracy and his crew were there as stated, did exactly what he said he could do to solve the problem. This crew worked beyond what was expected and would not quit until everything was superior standard. They thrive on excellence, integrity, & professionalism. I will use Integrity Hardscapes for every need I have. I have already recommended Tracy Youngs to several other people. Awesome Job and beautiful results !!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

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.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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