"Our experience with Steel Curtain Construction and Don Fitzgerald was top notch. He and his crew took time listen to our concerns and were always looking for ways to keep the costs of the project down. Communication is one of Don's key strengths. If you call or text him, he will almost always respond within ten minutes. When friends first see our new bathroom, their comments are like …."wow this looks like something you would see on one of those fancy DYI cable shows.""

LandCrafters is a Landscape Design and Installation company based in North Plains, Oregon. We are geared for projects from simple repairs to extensive complete landscape installations.

"It went beautifully. They called to ask if they could start earlier than predicted. They were on time. Two team members, Ricardo and Eber, worked very hard, including in soaking rain, to build the backyard wall. The whole job took three days instead of the projected two days, but that was due to rain and one sick day for one member of the team. The slight delay was no issue for us. The team also removed some buried concrete in the front that prevented proper paver and edger installation and hauled away some concrete refuse. They were great! Ricardo and Eber are excellent craftsmen, friendly and patient with our questions. It helped that one of us is Spanish fluent though language was no hindrance to the project. Any member on this site would do well to consider Jeff and his team."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

On average, you’re looking at about 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging—such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you.
