"Slade was a class act from the moment he came over for the estimate to the dig was done. When we asked him how much extra would it cost for an additional garden to be dug up, he offered to do the extra work for free!"

"Had a backup a few days before and wanted to determine if it was a simple clog or cesspool related. They sent out a tech (Jimmy) the same day. He located both cesspools and walked me through my options. He was honest and patient, answering all my questions along the way."

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring American Elite. to build my dream home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their exceptional service. From start to finish, their professionalism and dedication were evident. The project began with several insightful meetings with the CEO and project managers. These sessions provided me with all the necessary information and set clear expectations for the building process. The team was transparent and thorough, ensuring I was well-informed every step of the way. One of the standout aspects of working with AEC was their commitment to deadlines. They consistently met or even exceeded their projected timelines, which greatly alleviated the stress typically associated with home construction. Their efficiency did not compromise the quality of their work; every detail of my home was crafted to perfection!"

"

The Junk in My Trunk crew called us early on the day of the appointment to let us know when they would arrive and to confirm directions.  They showed up when they were expected and cleared out all the unwanted items in the house.  They were cooperative and cordial throughout the process, and cleared out items including mattresses, sofas and couches, and a refrigerator that was in the basement.  They filled every inch of the 12-yard truck and as a result I felt that I got very good value for the price.  I would not hesitate to use this service again or recommend them.

"I had a great experience with steve from high idle excavation. The quote was very reasonable. They ripped up my driveway and walkway due to just buying my home. It was very needed and a hazard. They paved my driveway and disposed of all the material. They had the job done in two days. I will be using them for my above ground pool next season!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.
