"We couldn't be happier or more impressed with the job that was provided by Minimally Invasive Tree Service. Will is a consummate professional and, he and his crew are all highly skilled and work together as a cohesive team. Will dropped a tall, large-diameter spruce for us that was located directly adjacent to the house. There was very little margin of error for its placement. The resulting accuracy reminded me of the Babe Ruth story of his predicting placement of a home run. Home Run indeed - Well Done Will"

"From the first estimate to the final cleanup, the whole experience was great! They were professional and showed up when they said they would. They completely transformed our yard with new landscaping, mulch beds, and trimming, and everything looks clean and polished. Fair pricing for the amount of work. We’ve already had neighbors asking who did our landscaping. Highly recommend!"

"Very well. Mike and crew were prompt, diligent, and hard working. Mike communicated well before and during the job. We had a young tree planted and some clearing and planting of several bushes as a backyard border. Clean up and overall appearance are great. Can't wait till spring!"

"Lawrence was an excellent contractor, he contacted and coordinated with the gas company and with Galloway co-op. He checked in regularly with me and even tried to get a temporary tank when it was discovered that my propane levels would not last until the delivery date. He wasted no time and came early to start excavation a day before delivery and that a great job burying and leveling the Earth after the tank was installed. Very professional, would recommend."

"Home advisor review system has too narrow a project focus to accurately categorize the excellent work that Green With Envy Construction Services did for us today. There was no siding work involved, but that is the closest category we thought to use for installation of two exterior entry doors. Joe and his crew are extremely efficient and creative when it comes to making something 'fit' in a space that is a little less than anticipated. You would never know it wasn't an exact fit. They are courteous and involve the homeowner when decisions need to be made, and they explain how things are being done. This is not something you get from every individual hired to perform a job that is beyond your own capabilities. The job was completed in much less time than I expected, including total cleanup of the work areas. I would recommend Green With Envy Construction Services without hesitation to anyone in need of their services."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
