"Vlad and his team did a fantastic job getting my yard back to pristine condition!! There was so much work that needed done from removing pine straw from the roof to cleaning up downed limbs and mowing and trimming. They did an excellent job and did the work quickly for a reasonable price. They stayed in contact with me with any updates too. Very friendly and professional company! Thank you for restoring my yard to a space that we can enjoy!!"

Chase, the owner and operator, was very professional and was easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. The job was completed without a hitch and in a timely manner. We look forward to using Hoyt Industrial Works in the future."

"Respess Brothers Tree Service were OUTSTANDING, PROFESSIONAL, CONCISE, and TIMELY!! They completed the service - removing two big trees (one very large pine tree in the backyard) and 5 large bushes in the front -- with their new machine so efficiently and safely! We were so impressed with their expertise in figuring out how to remove our trees which would have taken much longer. We HIGHLY recommend their services and they get the job done!"

"Did a great job for us. Took out an old asphalt driveway and installed a new and expanded one. Also added two concrete walkways in the back yard and a stamped concrete walkway in the front yard. So pleased with the work they did and their work ethic and they are such nice people. Certainly would recommend them to anyone."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

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

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
