"Randolph was fantastic at every stage of our project to fully rework our driveway in Woodstock, which had apparently never been touched since it was first built 40 years ago. He gave us the best estimate in price, quality, and detail among 6 we solicited. When it came to doing the work, he was professional to an extreme, responsive to all our concerns, wise in responding to an unforeseen problem in repairing the drainage plan, and (as an unexpected bonus) artful in reshaping the driveway in a manner that improved the look of our entire site. You won't find a better partner for your project."

Small jobs welcome

"I hired Mike to remove a 150 ft row of overgrown brush that had an old fence running in the middle. The day of the job Mike arrived on time and had all the proper equipment for the job. He was able to complete this job in a day. After the removal he added top soil and graded my lawn so now the water runs to the road and doesn’t pool in my yard. He listen to what I wanted and gave his advice and I am thrilled with the result. I would highly recommend Mike."

"We had Bob and his crew over to repair our driveway after a particularly hard winter. He brought the full compliment of equipment and product to get the job done right. A very personable and down to earth fella, the communication from start to finish was excellent. The work performed was very good and the price very reasonable. Bob and his team have a few future projects ahead with us. Thanks Bob!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.
