"They did a great job on multiple area project that included excavation, grading, drainage and septic tank installation. Rick, Brad and Allen were all professional, friendly and real pleasure to work with. Rick was able to perform very precise operations with the excavator and ensured everything was cleaned up and looking good before they left. Would recommend them to anyone in their service area and would consider them for any projects of my own in the future."

"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!"

"We have worked with Terry since April, 2022. Our garden was overgrown and our flower beds needed serious repair. He has exceeded our expectations with regard to the quality of his work and willingness to accommodate our schedule. His coworkers are courteous, hardworking, and show an aptitude for the landscaping with minimal supervision. Highly recommended and we are fortunate to contract his services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

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.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.
