"It went great. They exceeded my expectations in the work and the time it took to do it. Although they primarily specialize in tree removal they did a great job removing brush and the stuff in the brush."

"Jordan and his team at Lakeside Land & Lawn have been a delight to deal with. He always shows up when he is scheduled to show up unless it’s a rainy day in which case he always communicates the change of plans ahead of time to make sure it is accommodating for our schedule as well. The work they do is consistently excellent and they even find little value added things to do (edging an old concrete walkway that hadn’t been done in years, for instance). Their pricing is competitive and reasonable. Their attitudes are always sunny and positive. High integrity people! They clearly love what they’re doing and are happy to be doing it. We’re very happy to have found them available in the Richland area"

"I reached out to Wise Choice to have my old fence and driveway gate replaced and they absolutely delivered! I was very impressed with the level of customer service and the quality of the work performed. They've helped me with multiple projects this summer from fencing to roofing and I would gladly hire them again for my next project!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.
