"Carolina Pinewood LLC efficiently cleared approximately one acre of pine and various hardwood trees, as well as a variety of shrubs at my residence in just 5 days. They expertly mulched the shrubs and branches, preserved the trees I wanted to keep, and neatly stacked the debris. Their pricing was affordable yet competitive, and the online communication with the company was consistently professional and prompt. The owner, Filipe completed most of the work by himself. He was highly knowledgeable and readily shared technical information. I highly recommend Carolina Pinewood LLC for any land clearance needs, they receive a perfect 10 out of 10 rating in my book."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
