He and his crew are able to assess and safely manage myriad large scale homeowner issues, including driveways and drainage, foundation and stone work. Their tree work, brush hogging, and landscaping have opened vistas and trails, and saved me from endless effort on too small machinery. Trust he will do a great job, every time!."

"We loved working with Sean - we were redoing our driveway and in that process we found out that we needed had to have a French drain installed through half our property. This was extremely anxiety provoking but Sean was extremely communicative - he even connected with our paving company to make sure all the work that he did would support their project as well. He showed up on time and made sure the job was done well. He followed up with us numerous times to make sure we didnâ t have any issues. Highly recommend and would hire him again for other (hopefully planned) projects on our property."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.
