"Hired them to forestry mulch my new property in Alabama. They were very communicative and did a great job. So good in fact I hired them twice, once for each side of my property! Highly recommend their service."

"The trees I had them fall and remove were in bad spot. Only one place that they safely could fall and the trees were not leaning the correct way. But they cut them to fall perfectly! Didnâ t harm house shop or barn! Job well done!"

"Very professional service. Price was as quoted and less than local competitors. Showed up a little late but contacted us to let us know he was running behind first. Took about an hour to complete the work. Would definitely use them again."

"They prepared a foundation site for our 30x50 storage shed and the work was top notch. Not only did he prepare the site, he cleaned up all the trees that had to be cut down. While he was there I asked if he could bury a conex for me that I would like to use for a storm shelter and he was willing to do that the same week without any problem. Both projects turned out great! I also hired them to do excavation work behind my business to keep water from coming into the building when it rains and since that work has been done the rain doesnâ t flood my building anymore. Iâ ve been very pleased."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
