"The job was priced well and the work was great. The trees were near my house and they robed the branches and trees down with no damage to the house or the ground. No cranes to cause damage to my front yard either."

"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."

"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."

"They removed two gigantic trees at my house in Saugerties and another tree at my farm at Greenville NY. It’s very easy to deal with them and they charge very reasonable price. I would strongly recommend them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

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.
