"Very professional service. Price was as quoted and less than local competitors. Showed up a little late but contacted us to let us know he was running behind first. Took about an hour to complete the work. Would definitely use them again."

"This company was a very pleasant experience. Lawrence came out promptly and give a good price. A tree had blown over in a storm and was resting on my second floor balcony railing. Directly under the falling tree is a 10X6 foot plate glass window. Scary to most, but not Lawrence. He surveyed the situation, planned out his attack with his team and they successfully removed the tree. His team was knowledgeable, courteous and professional. They ground down the stump and clean up after the project was completed. Safety was Lawrenceâ s main concern and the project was completed without a problem. If your looking for fancy trucks with logos and graphics and embroidered shirts with the companyâ s name, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a first rate job, safely done at a reasonable price, this is the guy. Five Stars for Lawrence and his team."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.
