"I was very pleased with the end result and even more ecstatic about First Step's fundamentals. Very clean and organized. It was a wall separating my kitchen and living room so had to work around tile and carpet. It was definitely not an issue for Nate the owner. Well versed in his work and would definitely recommend him for any demo needed everytime. A1 service."

"We went to Omnipro for our patio and retaining wall. Greg was super helpful and very easy to talk to! It was nice seeing all the different blocks and pavers before making our purchase. I highly recommend you stop in and get your project started! My backyard looks amazing now!"

"They were very professional. Galen was very easy to work with. The guys doing the painting were very careful to not overspray during a windy day. I especially liked the fact that Galen gave us a reasonable estimate, called us when he would be here and showed up on time.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
