"Joe at Baker Landworx did a phenomenal job cleaning up our new home’s yard, garden beds, and shrubbery. Joe had excellent communication with us throughout the process and his team was extremely thorough in not only getting done what we had requested but in leaving our property looking meticulously cared for. For all the work that we had completed, they were affordably priced and we will definitely be utilizing their services in the future!"

"Rob and his team at Cappella Enterprises are exceptional at what they do. Their deep understanding of retaining wall design, permitting, and construction made the entire process smooth from start to finish. I obtained several bids for my project, but Rob was the only contractor who presented a comprehensive plan that addressed every aspect of the work. He completed the wall design and delivered engineer‑stamped plans for my building permit in about a week—and at a very reasonable cost. As an engineer myself, I even consulted colleagues who specialize in retaining walls, and none of them could match Rob’s pricing or turnaround time. Beyond that, Rob’s construction methods are clearly superior to those used by other contractors. When I began the project, I only had a general idea of what I wanted. Rob took those ideas and transformed them into a complete, well‑thought‑out vision, guided by his extensive experience. What impressed me most was his ability to handle unexpected challenges"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
