"The job was to create a low retaining wall along my driveway. This included creating a drain and runoff pipe. The result was very good. The project was finished in a timely manner. The group also refaced my mailbox and driveway gate which had deteriorated. This project was also well done. In addition to the stonework, they have also replaced decking. I have been very satisfied with everything they have done on my property."

"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"I was Blessed with a sizable tax return this year, so I sought Angie’s help finding a contractor for (2) projects : 10x12 Deck and a wood privacy fence I chose Tyler because he took the time to walk the property and fully discuss options and pricing from start to finish. Tyler was so detailed and thorough in his explanation of what he was doing and how he was doing it. He made me feel comfortable and confident that I made the correct decision choosing TDK over the others. I could not be more pleased with the results. I will use Tyler for a few more projects over the next year with no hesitation. I have no need to look any further than TDK Beyond the impressive craftsmanship, Tyler is genuinely kind and considerate. He not only won me over, he managed to smooth things over between me and my neighbor as a bonus."

"We had a serious erosion problem since our home was built on the side of a hill. We had a Generac home generator installed with a 250 gallon LP gas tank and an underground pipeline buried in our front yard. The first time it rained, the runoff dug up the pipeline and half the tank. Ryland from Ridgeview designed a plan of action costing $3,000 less than the other proposal. He completed the project in a relatively short period of time. The problem was solved."

"I would highly recommend Rocky Creek Grading for all of your grading/demolition work. They skillfully removed two old mobile homes off of my property and left the lots neat and clean. They exceded all of my expectations!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.
