Family owned and operated Business. We do land clearing and forestry work for commercial, residential, farmland, hunting leases and clearing around ponds, retention ponds, railroad, bush hogging etc. Our heavy duty forestry equipment mulches all the underbrush and small trees. We also supply, move and deliver decorative boulders. Some topping 14000 pounds! Check us out on FaceBook at CURRY OUTDOORS INC. to view our videos of our equipment. Also Google us. We do NOT offer excavating services. While we own equipment that can do these, we stick to what we do best. Please DON'T select us if you need grading, leveling, dirt work, trenching, culvert. Home Advisior has limited categories to put contractors in. The excavating and site work is the best they have to put us in. We only clear properties of trees and underbrush. If you have any questions before you select us please call 937-790-0058 to see if we can help.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.
