"I have been a homeowner in Northeast Columbia, SC for more than 30 years. With many pine trees on our property I've had to deal with a number of tree removal companies over the years. I have found Rokey Branch Utilities (RBU) far beyond any of the many companies I have encountered and used for extensive tree work. They were immediately responsive to my initial contact - showed up on time - gave a good estimate - cut the tree down being sensitive not to damage my lawn - cleaned up even the smallest debris and carried it off. The team was gone within an hour of arrival with no evidence they had been in the yard. Rich Tinneny"

"?????????? Excellent Land Clearing Service! I couldn?t be happier with the land clearing work done by Ag Site Services. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and easy to work with. The crew showed up on time, had all the right equipment, and got the job done faster than I expected ? without cutting any corners. They cleared several acres of thick brush and trees on my property, and the results are incredible. Everything was cleaned up neatly, and they even graded the ground to make it look smooth and ready for the next phase of my project. The price was fair, and the quality of work was top-notch. If you?re looking for reliable land clearing done the right way, I highly recommend Ag Site Services. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

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.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

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.
