"Mr. Lown did a great job trenching my yard for sprinkler install. He went above and beyond to help me and not damage anything. I will be using Lown Performance again in the near future."

"I cannot express enough how impressed I am with this company. Andrew and Midlands Home Renovations LLC are the ones you want to trust with your home. He could have taken shortcuts, but instead, he went above and beyond for my family and our home. Andrew is a family man and an exceptional contractor. He supported me and my family through a challenging time when our home suffered damages due to a small leaking shower valve. What's more, I was out of town on business while my wife and family were at home. Andrew promptly opened the flooring, assessed the damages, identified the source of our problems, and resolved them. He even discovered a pipe that a previous contractor assured me was fixed, yet it was still leaking under our home. Although it was not within the scope of work he initially signed up for, Andrew still fixed it to ensure there were no further leaks under our home. With over 10 years of experience in marketing and previous experience as a construction worker, I know the ins and outs of business and the effort involved. Trust me when I say THIS COMPANY IS THE ONE YOU WANT! Andrew, on behalf of my entire family, we sincerely thank you and your company for the outstanding work done. Great job, guys. We look forward to doing much more business with this company in the very near future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
