"Sumner is very professional and knowledgeable when it comes to handling waste/junk removal. A few months back I hired him to remove an old brick fire pit it was done quickly and it was very reasonably priced. His charismatic nature makes it very easy to do business with. I definitely would recommend and hire for future projects."

"They do good work at a good price. I would recomend them if you just need trees out. I would not recomend them for taking out stumps. For taking out stumps, I would recomend you get someone with and excavator and take out everything; stump and root. Also, for very tall trees I would not recomend them. Tall trees in tight places have to be topped. They are not tree climbers and are not set up for this type work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
