"Great company to work with.... I had several projects for the past couple years including: 2 ponds dug - no leaks & holding solid, built roads, had coverts installed, clearing of land and trenching work for electrical. I would highly recommend, they've done a wonderful job every single time. Extremely professional to make sure it's done right and that you're happy with services provided. I would work with them again on any project needing large requirement in the future."

"Rob and his crew did some landscaping planting shrubs,, installing blocks and mulch around flower beds. The price was reasonable and work done efficiently. We also had a small tree that needed to be removed and it also was handled in a timely manner at a reasonable cost."

"Stephen and his crew did a great job rebuilding my deck. It was a big job due to its size, but they built a very solid deck and did everything I wanted. He also made sure some damage around my house due to water problems got fixed. I have recommended him to several friends."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

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.
