"Karp Excavating did a super job clearing some land for us. Installed a driveway and leveled a pad site for a pole barn. They were timely and professional. We were very happy with the work. The barn started and I needed stone. I called and with in 1 hour I had two triaxle loads of stone. Zoe the dog was also there. She is the project manager. Haha"

"Chris was not only professional and timely, but answered all my questions before during and after finishing the work at my home. Left little to no mess. Quote was fair, after project completed I was over the moon with the price for the project. Hired him for Demo work. Ended up hiring him for one more job while he had the time. I would recommend Lone Pine Landscapes if you want communication, professionalism and a job well done!"

"Dave was super professional, I hired him just as construction materials skyrocketed. During construction he said the price of materials started to come down, which I didn't know... He offered to throw in a full insulation job at no extra cost, I was totally amazed at his complete honesty. He also did other extras that i wanted and never asked for more money!! The garage came out amazing, I would highly recommend him for any phase of construction or masonry... He's highly reputable and highly trustworthy!!! Thank You Dave... Paul Honesdale, PA"

"Mr. Joe Cerra provided clear explanations of what our project options were and several creative suggestions. When the plan was agreed on he worked diligently to complete the work in a timely fashion in spite of inclement winter weather. Outstanding craftsmanship, Joe's repair left our chimney better than it was when originally built! On time & on budget! Great job!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

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.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
