"Arrived when they said they would and completed the job in a timely manner. Also, there was a large sheet of blue plastic stuck in the upper branches of one of our 30ft. Austrian pines and one of the workers climbed the tree and removed the sheet. The worker did this without being asked."

"I have had Dream Green to my historic home numerous times. Dan their handyman, has done more work than I could possibly list, from making a custom piece to match the old style hardware on the doors to hanging wallpaper to making and replacing broken pickets on my fence to replacing a worn threshold and much more. I have not had any request that he could not fulfill. He is friendly and informative. I have had several items limbed or removed from my landscaping as well. Paul, Tara and crew did a great job and cleaned up afterwards, too"

"Brandon went above and beyond for our project, I requested a price for a project that wasnt going to suit our needs with having horses and the amount of water that accumulates in the area, he was up front that the area needed to be tiled, the project was completed quickly, he kept me informed of progress, and it was completed within budget Thank you to Brandon and his team"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
