Q: Do installations include site preparation?

• <div><p>Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.</p></div>

Q: How can you dig up a bush?

• <div><p>Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-bush-stumps.htm">DIY method for removing a bush stump.</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: Why is slab more affordable than a crawl space?

• <div><p>Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls. </p></div>

Q: Where do I take the boulder once it’s removed?

• <div><p>After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you&rsquo;re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm">landscaping costs</a>. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.</p></div>

Q: How deep can a trench be without protection?

• <div><p>A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock. </p></div>
