"They did a great job taking down a few trees for us. They were efficient in the removal and clean up! The cost was reasonable. I definitely would recommend them if you need some yard work done!"

Customers say: True professional

"We bought an old farmhouse that we knew needed some masonry work repairing a stone retaining wall, and keeping water out of the house and rain runoff away from our wellhead. I was absolutely dreading the repair, but Greg and his crew made things easy, and took care of a huge job in 2 weeks. Even as the scope of the project grew, based on some more issues found after excavating, Greg walked us through our options and took on the expanded work instantly. I couldn't be happier with the results-- even as things got pricier than I had hoped, the work is top-notch and Gregs resourcefulness, communication, and skills are the absolute best. If your project needs craftsmanship that falls under the many diversified trades that this team can take on, consider yourself lucky. Highly recommended."

Small jobs welcome

"I never used Angi but so glad I did. All Elements llc came to my rescue. As a disabled Veteran I can not move much and needed a recliner sofa removed quick since a new one was being delivered within a few days. Angi sent me Mike from All Elements. I called he was so accommodated and said no worries. He came with his fiancee and they were so friendly, helpful and just wonderful people. I will be hiring them again in the Spring to help with my storage unit. I knew I was in good hands and was such a relief to have met Mike. Now I can sleep better at night."

"Clear Path Property did an awesome job! They removed our old concrete quickly and laid down fresh gravel that looks great and is super solid. They were super friendly, showed up on time, answered all of my questions, and and even completed the job ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to call them again if needed in the future."

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.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.
