"Mass Force Land Clearing & Timber Management did an outstanding job on my property. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They handled everything from brush removal to timber management with real skill and attention to detail. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept the entire area clean and organized throughout the project. The results were better than I expected. My land is cleared, leveled, and ready for the next step, all thanks to their hard work. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, experienced crew that delivers top-quality results, I highly recommend Mass Force Land Clearing & Timber Management. Exceptional service from start to finish."

"I would highly recommend Bridge Land Management. I got a quote after seeing what was done at another site in my neighborhood. Once the job was complete, I was more than pleased with how it turned out. I would recommend this company to anyone needing land cleared, or brush needing to be removed. I have already given this companies number to a friend."

"Very good, 12 yards of top soil were brought in to level off and fill in holes in the back yard so the yard would stop being cut out and wouldn’t hold water in the holes. Work was done with a skid steer and a yard rake. Work was done in a fair time and the finished product looked great. I now have grass growing in the bare/low spots of the yard that are no longer low and my yard is no longer washing out."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

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. 

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.
