"Sam and his team did an absolute phenomenal job on our recent property project. We hired them for land clearing, grading, and forestry mulching, and the results exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, Sam and his crew went above and beyond to ensure everything was done perfectly. Their forestry mulching left the property looking clean and usable, and the grading work was top-notch. They are professional, efficient, and clearly take great pride in their work. If you need any land management or clearing done right, look no further than Timberclaw. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!"

"I had ABS come out to clean up and refresh our backyard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their quote was very reasonable compared to other options we considered, and they were extremely responsive throughout the entire process. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and did a fantastic job clearing everything out and laying pine straw. The attention to detail really made a difference, and the yard looks better than it has in years. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that provides great communication, fair pricing, and high-quality work, I highly recommend ABS. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future."

"Michael's crew cleared a large drainage area, 80' X 32' X 10'deep. It was filled with overgrowth of tall weeds, poison sumac, poison ivy, and tangled vines that had taken over a large area. They placed a black cloth on the whole area and then lined it with rocks. After placing the rocks they seeded and spread straw over the entire area where their equipment and rocks were. Even tho we changed our minds twice about what we wanted to do with that area, Michael always responded quickly and was very patient, He did not rush us to make a decision until we were ready. We are very pleased with the work done by Trinity Land Services and would definitely hire them again. They were all professional and worked steadily in the heat."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. 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.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
