"I give them stars for showing up and performing the requested tree removal. However, not very professional; with snow predicted for the following day, the entire crew did not show up until almost noon, leaving very few hours of daylight and good weather to complete a large job. They showed up the following day to complete cleanup, but it did indeed rain/snow for most of the day. Owner did not provide a contract, just quoted a price, which I accepted. At near dark, in the rain, owner showed up and asked what I thought of the cleanup job, but with the weather and near dark I was unable to evaluate adequately. I nonetheless gave him a check for the agreed-upon amount. Only after a couple of days had passed was I able to walk out and assess the cleanup, and I was not pleased. Items were removed to clear a path for the trees to fall, and not returned to their proper spots, and the trees did not even fall in the cleared area. I am glad the trees are gone, but I had spent many months trying to fix up the area that is now trampled and still littered with branches. I will be another two to three seasons, or more, trying to reclaim my yard."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

The cost to drill a well ranges, but for a well that’s roughly 150 feet deep, you could spend approximately $5,500. However, prices can fluctuate substantially due to factors like geological conditions, local regulations, and variations in drilling methods. For a more precise quote tailored to your location, research local well-drilling professionals in your area.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

The cost to dig a trench ranges from $400 to $1,200 per 100 linear feet, depending on the soil, depth, and width. Plan to spend $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching (it’ll be on the higher end if you have rocky soil). Renting a trencher costs $100 to $250 per hour, depending on the type of trencher.
