Q: How long does it take to trench 100 linear feet?

• <div><p>On average, you&rsquo;re looking at about <b>12 hours to dig 100 linear feet</b>. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging&mdash;such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.</p></div>

Q: Are underground downspouts worth it?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How do you locate an underground downspout?

• <div><p>To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber&rsquo;s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.</p></div>

Q: Can I use metal detectors to find my sewer line?

• <div><p>No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.</p></div>

Q: What kind of surface should a dumpster be placed on?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

This is the 4th time that I have had him come and trim or cut down trees. He always responds to texts or calls, comes when he says that he's going to come. He is very professional and personable. He always cuts the pieces into sizes that are manageable for me. I don't believe that...
