"100% satisfied. Had contracted with a less expensive option who decided they did not want to show up and work. Bradley @ Blue Cord had given me a quote but I was going cheap. After firing the first company, Blue Cord was able to come out the next day and do the work. Superior equipment, top notch customer service, and friendly smile, makes this a for certain hire next time. Check out their website, give them a call and don't look back. I have never been more pleased with an honest and professional contractor. Well done."

"Our sump pump pipe in our crawl space became disconnected at the elbow joint resulting in water spraying all over the floor. Despite the problem being visible through the access panel, the technician said the charge would be $888 just to enter the crawl space and diagnose. You should be aware that they charge also $69 just for showing up and this fee is not waived or included in any work that they do. It's in addition to any work. So $957 for 15 minutes worth of work and the price of a PVC elbow joint. I don't know how in the world they justify that."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
