"I contacted Travers to have a chimney removed, some general demo (walls brought down to the studs) and a large amount of yard work (clearing a largely overgrown yard) on a home I recently purchased. With a large amount of work to tune up this house in a short window leading up to summer, time was of the essence. I spoke with Alex in their office several times leading up to the work. She was extremely helpful and responsive. She helped coordinate some of Mike's time for an estimate. While I initially called exclusively about removal of the chimney, the scope of the job grew after talking to Mike and understanding all the work they could do. After agreeing on full scope and price, Mike was able to schedule my job in on less than a weeks notice. I met the team day 1 at the house where they arrived right on time. All the guys on the team were friendly, professional and instilled confidence. I was shocked at how fast the progress was on the chimney. Day 2 the focus shifted to the yard while some of the team was still doing work in the house. They moved at break neck speed yet methodically and highly coordinated. They left after two days - There wasn't a single scratch on the old hardwoods I was hoping to preserve despite moving TONS of brick and mortar where the hearth once sat. They leveled the yard everywhere they removed trees and bushes with only patches of no grass being the only evidence work had even been done. They also patched the roof, somehow match up the pattern of a 20 or so year old roof so it appears a chimney never existed. I had never worked with Travers before and reviews online were the only reference I had to go on in hire them. I was cautiously optimistic they were the right company, but then they blew away my expectations! I will absolutely leverage them again for future jobs and strongly encourage others to call Travers as well. If your job needs to be done in a timely fashion and you want to maintain quality - this is the company to call."

"I had a fence in my backyard that was deteriorating. I contacted them and they came out quickly, gave me an estimate and fixed it within the week. The owner was really friendly and even offered to do some fix-ups on my house for the same price!"

"John communicated very well during the whole job and always asked if we were happy. He has the skill and ability to do the level of detail a custom deck requires. He and his crew were always here when they said they would be and they finished the job on time. My new composite deck looks great and we would definitely hire this pro again. The neighbors watched what he can do and have also asked John to price their home improvement projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
