"Jake Plasse, business owner was hired to remove building materials, waste materials, and twenty plus years of accumulated junk from two double bay garages. I selected Pro Demolition LLC from Angie's List of local service providers. Jake reached out to within an hour and made an appointment to come and give me an estimate that very same week. He arrived promptly was professional as well as extremely pleasant and respectful. His quote was very reasonable I trusted his judgment. I hired him we set the date for cleanout in a very short time frame. The date of service arrived Jake arrived promptly at 7am. He worked diligently to remove everything we had planned on plus a few added items he gracious took. He had both garages cleared out within a tree hour time span, very impressive. I would certainly hire him again and highly recommend him for your upcoming waste removal jobs. He did a ton of work without overcharging us.Me and my husband were very impressed with the service he provided."

"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."

"Devon and his crew were professional, courteous and dedicated to providing the best quality of work. They showed up when promised and their work on spring clean up, mulching, trimming shrubs, edging, and tree removal left the property looking like a magazine photo for high end landscaping. We highly recommend Devon and his crew and will use them for all our future projects."

"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."

"Joshua is a pleasant professional, well mannered young man. Who shows up on time and ready to work. He pays close attention to what is being requested of him and he is very detailed oriented.. This is the 2nd time I have hired Joshua for my outside projects. He does an amazing job. He mowed my lawn front and back while providing clean edges… He trimmed my shrubs, pulled massive weeds and he cleaned it all up by putting everything in lawn bags. He also set the bags out to the curb for city pickup. My property was clean beautiful and free of grass & shrub debris. I would definitely recommend him for your projects. I will be calling him again for fall cleanup/trim and for other odd jobs on the inside as well.. Lastly, but most importantly his prices are reasonable & he does not disappoint!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
