"This was the worse company I have ever dealt with. We signed a contract in March 2022 and on April 1st. 2022 the hole was dug. Fast forward to July when the rain had washed out the sides of the hole because Bill had not started any other work on our pool. He finally showed up with some pool walls and placed them. Fast forward to September. He put he the pool liner in and filled with water. Fast forward to November. He stopped working on the project. Fast forward to March 2023. He showed up to see what need to be taken care of to finish the project. Fast forward to May 2023 the project was complete. The concrete is cracking because he waited to long to saw cut expansion joints and he never came back to give us the $2000 pool cover we paid for. We sued him in February 2024 and won. He still hasn’t paid us. I’m writing this on February 22 2025"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

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.

It is a common belief that excavation is easier or less costly when done in the summer or when the ground is not frozen. Seasons have little effect on when excavation can occur; however, inclement weather can prolong the duration of the job and potentially increase costs. For this reason, those in rainy climates may opt for seasons with milder weather.

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
