"Two young men came to my property, and I walked around and showed them what I wanted done. I was given a quote to have four flower beds weeded and mulched and two medium size bushed trimmed. When they came to do the work, I again walked around and showed them what I needed done. They started the work and about an hour and half into it, knocked on my door and said they would not be completing the rest of the job. They could come back another time and quoted an additional price of $250. When I questioned them later about this, they claimed that the price was not for all the areas I showed them. They also told me that some of the price was for gasoline to travel to the job. No mention was made on the quote about fuel charges. If the job was out of their area and required additional charges, they did not mention it when they quoted the price. For the two flower beds and two bushed they trimmed, they did an adequate job. I would not use them again. I was not happy with my experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.

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.
