"Someone came out the first day I requested a quote and started the work within 2 weeks as promised. The work took a bit longer than expected due to weather conditions, but understandable. The work was done as discussed and at a reasonable rate for the amount of time it took. Our drainage and water issues required a lot of manual labor to install a French drain, reroute a rock creek and reroute gutter drainage. The customer service was excellent and the team very responsive. Would highly recommend this company."
"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."
"What I like best is Reynaldo answered the phone every time I called. Was very seamless and very professional. The job was done. Top shelf would recommend him for any concrete project."
"Excellent company! Mr. Johnson was very professional, knowledgeable, timely, and provided A1 customer service. I would highly recommend this company to other customers!"
"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!"

An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.
