"Dan was very professional. He was easy to deal with. He cleaned up everything after himself even out into the hall. I needed some fast service and he made sure he got to my project the very next morning. He is someone I would like to have come back to home and do other projects. I highly recommend this company."

"Nathan Hoaglund and his dedicated crew from Northern Sky Arboriculture Inc did an outstanding job in removing a clump of trees that fell during a recent storm. They were prompt, worked diligently and cleaned up the yard/street after the job was done. Nathan is very knowledgeable about Minnesota native species and offered helpful suggestions for replacement trees and plants. My neighbor recommended Nathan's services and I also highly recommend Northern Sky Arboriculture Inc."

"I'm amazed! And my neighbors are very pleased with the improvement. Three Timbers removed all overgrowth and replaced old plastic edging with beautiful brick edging. Covered all flower beds with chocolate mulch. Also replaced over grown garden with gorgeous grass. They accomplished in a few days what would have taken me a few years to do it I ever got it done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history.
