"I had yard damage from a vehicle that got stuck in my yard after the snow melt. Another vehicle got stuck trying to pull the first vehicle out and finally the tow truck got stuck. My yard looked like a mud pit from the front to the back. I contacted three companies and Trindel Brothers was the only response. I also had them give me an estimate for two retaining walls to mitigate water from my back porch. The price was fair and the work was excellent. I'd hire them again."

"I needed my deck torn down and replaced. David was prompt with the estimate and started the job within a week. He does great work and I could tell his knowledge and experience contribute to his above average skills as a carpenter. The new deck is better than what was originally put on to my house. I will use Blue trim in the future and would be happy to recommend them for others."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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.
