"Nathan did a great job! I was called out of town so only able to explain what I needed done over the phone. I am very picky about how I want things completed -- I was pleasantly surprised when I came home to find everything done perfectly! Nathan showed up when he said he would, confirmed what I was asking and completed the work within the time frame we discussed, for the price he quoted! I have more work of the same that will need done in the Spring. I will be calling Lewis & Sons to handle the job!"

"Nik is probably the best contractor I have ever worked with. Prior to hiring him through HomeAdvisor, I was working with a different contractor who had mis-measured and ended up under-estimating our project. This job was a community project on a tight budget, and funds had already been collected based on the initial estimate. Not only was Nik willing to work within our budget, but he was also able to turn our project around in record time. His work was excellent. Basically, it is flawless. Not only that, but Nik is knowledgable and desire to please gave us great confidence in selecting him for the job. Without hesitation, I would recommend Nik for any excavating work you might need and he will be the guy I hire for future jobs of this nature. Thank you, Nik, for your excellence!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.
