"We have hired Ryan several times for several jobs and are never disappointed. He has cleared several lots for us, done some tree trimming/bush removal and removed a huge oak tree stump from hurricane Helena which was not an easy job. The stump was still in the ground and was well over 5ft in diameter. He has also done some landscaping for us. He is always communicative, professional, and gets the job done quickly. Would highly recommend."

"These guys are the best! They are knowledgeable, professional, and have all the latest equipment allowing them to work very fast while still being safe. They trimmed or removed 17 trees, a handful of which required a crane, in two days. All the crew wore uniforms, so we didn’t see bare chests or pants that ride too low. They were extremely respectful, answered all our questions, and even spoke to the neighbors to make sure they were comfortable with the process. The owner, Adam, was communicative and offered us a great price. I will absolutely hire D & A Tree Surgeons again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

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.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.
