"Where do I start? They will return your phone calls, answer any questions in a courteous & professional manner. Gave us a fair estimate on a fence job & gave us a date when they could do the job. They actually got to us quicker than we expected. Arrived when they said they would, worked hard & didn't leave a mess when they left. Everyone we talked to was courteous, professional and friendly. They did the job exactly how we wanted it done & our horses are happy they can go from their pasture to the barn anytime they want. I would highly recommend Pro Performance Industrial to anyone. We are very happy with the job they did for us & they did it for a reasonable price."

"Two Bearded Men did a great job at a reasonable price. The patio area excavation was accomplished as discussed and in short order. They even threw in pulling several batting cage poles out of the ground free of charge. I would use them in the future."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.
