"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!"

"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"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.
