"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I hired this company for building site preparation and land clearing, and they exceeded my expectations from start to finish. They showed up on time, communicated throughout the entire project, and completed the work exactly as promised. The crew was professional, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. They cleared the property thoroughly, removed all debris, and left the site clean and ready for the next phase of construction. Their equipment was well-maintained, and it was obvious they knew what they were doing. The quality of work, professionalism, and customer service were outstanding. If you’re looking for a reliable company for site preparation and land clearing, I highly recommend them. I would definitely hire them again for future projects."

"They did an excellent job of clearing our entire yard of debris and removing brush and years of overgrowth in a short amount of time. They also went beyond what we asked for and cleared out a 50 ' tree stand next to our house."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

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