"DT Contracting just completed a 46’ retaining wall in front of our house and I could not possibly be happier with the quality of the work. Dan was easy to work with and professional in all manner. The dedication to detail and quality of work during construction was outstanding. Dan takes pride in his work and customer satisfaction. To put it simply, if you need a retaining wall, concrete work or other related work and you do not talk with Dan at D T Construction – Shame on you."

"Bradley was not only professional & courteous, he was meticulous about his work. He responded to my inquiry for a job I needed done in record time & got me into his schedule much sooner than I had expected. He was also sweet to my little kids, who insisted they watch him use the big excavator machine. I would definitely recommend him for any lawn care issues!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

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.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.
