"Had a large stump & roots beneath grade. Animals couldn't stop digging into it, and the sinkholes were a mess. Pierce gave me an initial quote, but I wanted him to excavate well beyond the stump to make sure (if needed). The full job, with my extra request, was to run about $1,400. It was supposed to include grading of the surface with premium topsoil. They came and did the job, but they only did the stump diameter (about 6 ft). Pierce said they didn't feel we needed to go further. Also said they didn't need any topsoil. Said the area might settle a little as we go forward, and may need to add some soil in the future. I thought that was a little odd, since that should have been anticipated with the original estimate. So, I held off on this review to see how it would go. It's been a few months, and things are going great. Caught a vole digging out there the day after the job, but they must have realized the difference. Haven't had an animal hole or sinking spot since. I still think there might have been a mix up with the crew and the topsoil, but nonetheless, Pierce quickly took that amount off of the job. He gives a great cash discount and, at the time at least, an Angie's list discount. The whole thing cost only $500. All in all, Pierce was very professional and responsive. He is very quick to get back to you, and very prompt with the service. He could have very easily done an inflated job at my request, rather he was very quick to give money back to me and say, "you didn't need that". Had I known I could have corrected the major issue in my back yard for that price, I would have called Pierce a long time ago. I would definitly use him again."

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
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 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.
