"This job was just initially a tree trimming to handle the overgrowth on our property line, but they went above and beyond! The tree trimming went exceptionally well with all the tools and expertise they brought to get the job done efficiently and effectively, but they didnâ t stop there. There were vines and brush entangled in the trees that we were not even aware of that they handled with ease, but even with all that extra work they still went above and beyond by bringing in additional equipment! They brought in a mini excavator to clean up the site and made it look like it has always been this beautiful!!! We are beyond grateful for all of the hard work they did, the due diligence to go the extra mile, and the willingness to ensure that we did not have to do any â post jobâ cleanup like we have experienced in the past with other contractors. Because of the exceptional job they did, we are looking forward to employing them for additional work around our property. Highly recommend for way more than tree trimming and they have the equipment to do far more! Looking forward to working with them again!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.
