"I NEVER leave reviews, BUT this one deserves a review. I called Bolton Grading & Clearing to do an estimate on clearing some land for me. They were out that afternoon giving me an estimate. Started that week and had it done within a week. Very affordable pricing. I explained what I wanted and DJ let me know what he thought. I let him go with it, and it turned out great. I had to remember he does this for a living not me. "

"This is the fourth time we have used Carson's APMC company, on three different houses. They do great work! On this job, Carson, the company's owner, went above and beyond to overcome some unusual and unexpected problems encountered. The basic job consisted of regrading, as well as installation of PVC and corrugated drainage pipe, adding a small retaining wall, and building a paver walkway. After all the work was completed, our home's water pressure would not support the required water sprinkling for the NEW lawn using regular garden hoses. Therefore Carson fixed the problem by installing a temporary hard-piped Rain-Bird system above ground for use until the new lawn was established. A great job overall!"

Multi-time Super Service Award winner. Crawlspace Doctor was established in Bloomington Indiana in 2002. Crawlspace Doctor was one of the first companies in the country to exclusively implement the practice of conditioned (unvented) crawl spaces. We were perfecting our methods when almost everyone else still believed in vented crawl spaces. Over time conditioned crawlspaces became the preferred method for constructing crawl spaces under homes. The process of conditioning a crawl space is so successful it created an completely new industry. As a leader in this industry we pride ourselves in providing a large variety of products to fit our client’s individual concerns. We will never be a company that supplies only one solution with one product for every need. We constantly work with manufacturers and suppliers to provide the best and most cost effective products available. Award winning.

"Brad is a professional who took the time to fully explain all options and exactly how he would address our issue of moisture control under our house. He and his workers are very courteous, prompt, and thorough in what they do (including cleanup after the job was done). Brad is very knowledgeable and makes recommendations with confidence and experience which made me feel better about having this work done. We are very pleased with the job they did and highly recommend you get Brad to look at your house before you commit to anyone else. You will not be disappointed"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.
