"I needed about 3-4 feet of dense 30â tall bamboo cut down and removed. It took Ruben and his 2 man crew 2 days of hard work and 4 trips to the dump. They did a great job and I highly recommend Earthkare for any of your landscaping needs."

"Called ahead of time and came on time. Very friendly staff. and did a wonderful job cutting and removing the trees. They also took the above ground oval pool apart and removed it. They also added top soil where the pool was located and will be coming back to add more top soil to complete the job. I have have no complaints as the job was performed in an excellent manner. Would recommend their services as Mike knew exactly what had to be done."

"Very well. The staff was on time, cleaned the flower beds, moved dirt to various beds, mulched, put down landscape ties, and more. They were very professional and knowledgeable of what needed to be done. I plan to hire G&G Landscaping again for other landscaping needs. Job well done! Many thanks to G&G for making my flower beds beautiful again!"

"WOW! What a transformation. New Village Landscape was absolutely incredible! Jonathan and Venessa were very nice, always responding to my multiple emails, phone calls, and text messages throughout the project. Our property was awful and Jonathan's crew transformed our entire property. From expanding our driveway with new retaining walls and concrete, removing a huge oak tree, laying pea gravel, installing a hammock pergola, and sodding the entire property. Its been several weeks now since they wrapped up the sod and it is perfect! Simply amazing work! Thanks Jack"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.
