"From pricing to performance and completion Greg was a pleasure working with the entire project. I would highly recommend them. My project with Greg was not only complicated but also a very tight schedule to accommodate a back yard party . Greg was certainly up for the challenge and got us complete on time!"

"We had a tree cut down a few years ago and never had the stump removed. It was out of the ground about 2 feet. We hired Murf and Machine to have it removed with a backhoe. It was a stubborn stump, it took him around 3-4 hours to get it out of the ground and then moved out of the way to another part of our property. This was fun to watch. We recommend Murf and Machine."

"Had this company clean/inspect our wood burning stove when we bought our house a year ago. After the huge wind storm the cap for the chimney fell off. Called around 11am to get it repairs… Chris had his crew around our area was literally there in less than 20 minutes and everything was fixed! Awesome company. Will be using them for everything."

"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

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.

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.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
