"We hired this person to do several jobs around our house including tree removal/debris clean up, roof repair from tree damage, and rebuild a fence from tree damage all after Hurricane Helene destroyed our property. He agreed to all the work and a price. The roof looked horrible. It was wavy, uneven, and just shotty work all around. He took several months to complete it and would often say he was coming on a specific day but never show up. My husband told him multiple times we needed this work done timely. Once he started working on the fence (the last thing to do and after 7 months!!), he failed to show up yet again. Wouldn't answer my husbands calls and texts or even my calls and texts. Disappointed in the lack of communication and intergrity of him. To leave a family hanging in such a difficult time shows the true character of him and his business. For that, I would never recommend him for any job big or small. I wish I didn't even have to leave 1 star. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.
