"Very reasonable and professional. We had a smaller job where we needed some posts removed. Scot and Mary showed up on time on the weekend, pulled the posts with his machine, cleaned up and was out of there without any issues. Nobody else would do this work for us. I recommend their services."

"I hired Hauck Excavating to demolish a wind damaged 2 story grain elevator building located between 4 - 16' grain bins and only 7 feet from a busy highway. He did the work with solid planning, great equipment and great trafic control. The grain bins were not damaged and no material hit near the road or traffic. Work was done quickly in coordination with PPL and the site was left clean and clear. I highly recommend Shane Hauck Excavating"

"Jeremy was fantastic. He gave me a fair price and told me it should be about 1 month to complete since material is back ordered. He was able to get the material and completed work ahead of schedule. His workers were contentious, diligent, organized and cleaned up the everyday, so not to leave a mess. Very respectful. I would definitely recommend and absolutely use them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

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. 

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

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.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
