"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."

"I had a septic field that was 30+ years old. The county was requiring a whole lot more than i was anticipating. Austin Benton was referred to me by a friend. He always returned my calls, and was very prompt to explain and help me understand what i needed. Austin was quick to deal with inspectors and worked diligently on a not so easy fix for my residence. I cannot overstate this enough. He and his crew did a tremendous job. If everybody had work and business ethics that this young man has the world would be a better place."

Marsh Family started in Bristol Pennsylvania in the early 30s doing contract trash removal and General Haul. They were in business until the turnpike in Pennsylvania came through and split the property in half all of the sons which there were eight were in the business shopping centers malls grocery stores department stores Places like JCPenney‘s Boscov Pomroys, and someone I am one of the original sons in this organization I have done work with the government but shipyard army basis. I’ve done police stations nursing home because we not only did removal. We also did construction mostly in South Jersey but I actually did all across the United States. I’m older now. I don’t want to do the construction, but the waste removal is in my blood so I come back to carry away waste the professional manner because we are professional professionals and not Chinese.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

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.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.
