"Very pleased with the services performed and the rate. Due to company's busy schedule, we had to wait longer than we wanted to for the services to be performed, but we were told in advance about this and we were willing to wait based upon the estimate given. Due to weather conditions, the work was delayed, so it took longer than anticipated for services to be performed, but we were pleased with the work and would hire again."

"we had multiple issues with the garage build we had done. 1. demo day they left behind 2 huge pieces of concrete pad then wanted us to split the cost because they went over on weight on the dumpster. 2. when they poured the concrete the next day a big piece of the corner broke off. 3. framing day they missed close to 60 misssed nails in the 2x4 to osb sheeting. and didn't nail 3 studs completely. 4. there was exposed man door and garage door framing exposing the wood to the elements, when asked why it was not sided or covered with flashing we was told it was "industry standard "to leave the wood exposed to the elements. 5. the garage door leaks and he refuses to look at it and states it's not under warranty. it took us close to 4 weeks to get them to come back and fix all their mistakes, all except the garage door because i did not see that until 2 months later, and he is refusing to contact he to take care of the situation. yet warranty is a year on the garage. overall i would not recommend this company to friends and family due to poor communication , inadequate site supervision of subcontractors, his subcontractors were vert sloppy and lacked attention to detail."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.

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.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
