"Did exactly what we asked them to do - excellent work! Very happy with the job - they added a 15' pipe onto our current culvert pipe, covered it with soil and then grass seed and straw. Professional and very friendly. Would recommend you give him a call."

"Brock responded to our posting in a timely fashion. He provided a spreadsheet detailing the job's components and the costs of each part. He arrived on the date agreed upon and commenced working right away. He explained everything as the job progressed. When unforeseen problems arose when he removed the existing steps, he provided a video of the area under the steps so I could see for myself. His workmanship is skilled and precise; his attention to details is outstanding. The new paint on our railings was a perfect match with the original and extended to painting the heads of the bolts on the brackets holding the railings in place. The end result was far better than we had expected."

"I wanted to transform my backyard. After 4 kids and 30 years it was literally an eyesore and detriment to my property. Had a bit of drainage issues to boot. After working with Chase on a design, Carter and the guys "crashed" my backyard. Even with 3 weeks worth of monsoon type weather they diligently worked on the days they could and created my patio oasis for me to enjoy with my wife, family and friends! With the weather we are having this April the drainage has already been tested and I give it an A+. Fair pricing, integrity, and the owners get their hands Dirty. I highly recommend this crew!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.
