"Upon arrival, the crew spread out and started attacking the problem areas of my lawn. They cut back roses, shrubs, crepe myrtle, etc. They blew dead leaves out of the flower beds, weeded, edged, and spread mulch (black, as I had specified). Extremely thorough!"

"We love the porch Sino-American built for us. Their attention to detail was terrific and the finish work is top-notch. It seems like every time I sit out there I notice one more detail that was done very well. They kept us informed of the progress throughout and took care to make sure that the final product would be what we had in mind. The crews were professional, took care on our property, and the left the construction site neat every night. We would hire them again."

"Dave showed up, all 3 days, early (7am) and worked diligently. From time to time, my wife and I had questions regarding how to ideally improve aesthetics (ultimately resale value), Dave would provide detailed responses and patiently answer our amateur questions. When we didn't fully understand he took a minute to explain. From the get-go, Dave was flexible whether in the quoting process or construction phase. If you are like us, who care more about the outcome of the project rather than a fancy uniform, Dave is your excavator. Reasonable, experienced and reliable, we feel confident recommending Dave to our friends and families."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

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.

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.

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.
