"The perimeter drain around my foundation was no longer working. Every time it would rain, I had water behind the foundation wall and developed a good size crack and that would be where the water came in. Also from the chimney door. Richard called me on a Sunday morning, came out later that day and explained it all! He explained every detail about what needed to be done .Excavating, drainage, crack sealing, and coating. By the way this was done January-February. I can't say enough about Richard, Zack and Brad. I would highly recommend Forrest Excavation. Thank you Richard"

"Paul made every effort to come out to our home to perform an estimate of the work I needed done. I was happy with his estimate, courtesy, and professionalism. I did let him know that I had another company that contacted me and wanted to wait for that estimate. I ultimately took the other company as it was based closer to where I live and the estimate was lower for the same work. However, this will not be the last time I would contact Paul as I will most likely want another project done and willing to let his company perform that work. Thank you for checking out my first project, Paul."

"I hired atlas earthworks to put a driveway and parking lot in on a remote piece of land I purchased. He was easy to commute with and did a great job. I even added some work to the job and he finished ahead of schedule. He has nice equipment and an extremely positive attitude. It was a breath of fresh air to have an honest contractor."

"We had a pretty big project, removing an old camp roof and building a new roof rotated 90 degrees, and adding a loft area. We were very happy with Andrew and his crew. They really go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right - they don't cut corners and take pride in their work. They installed new windows in the front and even used Windex to wipe off their finger smudges! Price was very good, and they're good, honest guys to work with. Very pleased!"

"Great job by First Choice! I needed stumps removed, a small tree cut down, and maple trees near my house all removed. They were able to squeeze me in before winter, they came by quickly with a reasonable quote and had it all done very fast. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend hiring them!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

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.

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.
