"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."

"I contacted Home Advisers looking for a company that could clear some land. I had just acquired. 17 1/2 acres of land that most people would pass up, a ravine to be precise , I wanted a retirement home.that was secluded and one with nature. It was completely overgrown with anything that would grow. John Allen from Boss Equipment contacted me. I met him on the property and kinda explained what I was doing and was hoping to accomplish. First stage came and John met me back on the property. Transformation of a pig to a horse as it was still an animal but showed a little grace. We selected a spot for the Home and garage and John and his crew went back to work. This horse is now a unicorn. Ità ¢à  à  s a one of a kind home site. Ità ¢à  à  s a rare find and the incredible work performed by John and his crew will take me through the rest of my life to the next. John Allen started out as a guy I hired to do some work and has become a friend in the process. John always kept me informed and sent photos of the progress along the way. Although this was not a fast process due to weather, power, water and septic I am impressed at John ability to get things done at each stage. Do I recommend John? Yes I do. I canà ¢à  à  t say enough good things about Him and his crew."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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’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.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
