"Great experience beginning to end. We had 3 contractors come out for quotes and Stable Works was a one stop shop that met all our needs (removal of old chain link fence, bushes, trees, and trumpet vines cleared, plus the install of a new vinyl fence) while the other companies would not do the removal and ground prep and not even entertain subcontracting the work out. John provided the quote and gave his recommendations. We had to get the permits (which Iâ ve never had to do with other contractors weâ ve hired), but he was upfront about that and it was a good learning experience for me. Once the permits were squared away, they started early on Monday and by the end of the day Wednesday were complete! Mike and Jonathan were the workers and did a fantastic job. They were quick to get started each morning, hard working, and answered any questions we had. I would recommend Stable Works for all your outdoor needs. They truly are a one stop shop and I look forward to getting them in for the next project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
