"I was extremely happy with the demolition work done by Grizzly. The team was professional, efficient, and got the job done safely and on time. They exceeded my expectations from start to finish and left with my property looking better than when they arrived ?I wouldn?t hesitate to use them again and I will be recommending them to anyone needing quality work around the lake area as Spencer explained they do much more than just demolition.

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.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

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

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.
