Q: What does skunk digging look like?

• <div><p>Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take an excavator to dig a pool?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-build-pool.htm">time it takes to build a pool</a>&mdash;and dig out the area&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a home demolition company?

• <div><p>While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition. </p></div>

Q: Can you install a trench drain in existing concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.</p></div>
