"We hired the company to just clear some underbrush and remove saplings. They came out and recommended we consider removing trees as well and gave us an incredibly affordable quote. The trees were mostly dead and posed a risk to our house and our neighborsâ houses but other estimates were way out of our financial reach. They worked until they got the whole yard cleared, left absolutely no mess behind and even removed the stumps (not grind them down but remove the whole thing). The greatest thing is they did the whole job for the same price two other companies quoted for just the underbrush and saplings, but their quote included removing 8 additional trees and stumps, trimming back branches that were hanging over our house and shed, and cutting down and removing two arborvitae. The trees were mostly pine trees that were nearly 100 ft tall! I cannot say enough good things about this company and their patience as we kept asking for more things to be done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

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.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.
