"This was the easiest and most efficient project I have ever experienced. And the end result is better than I imagined. As a home owner for over 38 years, I have had a lot of disappointment with contractors, plumbers, etc. Leon has restored my faith in the process. His estimate was fair and he completed the job less than a week after we met. He explained everything he would do and the materials needed. He also contacted me as needed. The front bed looks wonderful. Leon actually listened to and respected my ideas so I now have space to dig and plant my own flowers. Digging is no longer easy for me, but Leon tilled (??) the soil so it will easy for me to dig small holes. Leon is a reliable and responsible young man. His kindness and work ethic are admirable. I highly recommend him!!"

"Trey called right away when inquired about a fiberglass in ground pool removal. They got the dumpster there that night and the next day the pool was removed. They went above and beyond. It was a team effort between the 2 of them. Everything was done by Monday night. Trey even leveled it pretty good. Thank you both very much. I canâ t say enough about this couple."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
