"We hired Finch to clear brush/overgrowth and take down some dead trees on a property we were selling and to bring the property back up to city code. Not only did Noah meet me at the property on short notice to talk through exactly what I wanted and give me an estimate, but he called the city inspector to be sure we understood what the city was expecting too. Noah was easy to communicate with and he kept me in the loop about progress including calls and sending photos/videos of the progress to make sure things were looking right since I wasnâ t on-site most of the time. He was helpful in answering my questions and explaining what equipment he had to do the work and when heâ d get it done. I would easily recommend Finch Excavating and would hire them again for future projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
