"Mike and his crew removed my old shrubs in the front of house and replaced them with nice low maintenance shrubs, placed stonework all the way across, and put down river rock. They trimmed the maple tree also. They buried my gutter to drain underground. I had a small brush pile behind my shed that they hauled off for me. They finished all of the work in 1 1/2 days! They were friendly, hard workers! They did a very professional job! I am very pleased with their service!!"

"Impressed by how very professional the entire team is. Placed an add for guttering to come and repair guttering that was incorrectly put on by original builder. Was immediately contacted, by Branch Out Gutters and a bid was given and scheduled an appointment within a week. The installation team was very professional and when they were finished the area was clean. I truly appreciate this company and will highly recommend them to anyone."

"LARRY arrived on the afternoon of the day I called. He reviewed the 7 steps going from our lower deck to the ground,. He explained what it would take to make the fix, what materials he would use and his estimate which was very fair. As agreed, he returned two days later with his son Jacob and in no time at all repaired the fault as well as adding new materials to prevent any any future failure. They are both seasoned carpenters with decades of experience between them. Our steps are better than when new. 5 Stars arenâ t enough to relate our gratitude and satisfaction."

"I had Louie & Sons Excavating remove my pool, deck, and fence. Had them grade and slope the yard. They provided a detailed proposal with all items listed. Their work was excellent, I could not be happier. They are highly skilled equipment operators and are very easy to work with. If you need excavating work I highly recommend Louie & Sons Excavating. Excellent work at a fair price."

"Hector was amazing from start to finish. Prompt and shows up himself to estimate the work, which was much more reasonable than the 2 other quotes we received, and does a great job through until the end. I have used him three times (for clients anbd myself) and has been consistent every time. He listens, gives quotes quickly, and schedules the repair promptly. Could not recommend more highly, he will be my sewer and septic guy for the long-term!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
