"Great work, great customer service. Excellent value. Jeb gave me a fair price, woked with my schedule and did amazing work. . If you need trees cut, want a professional job and friendly no hassle service? Call 413 Devices. Will recommend to anyone with trees or shrubs that need removed or trimmed. I called Four different tree companies over a year and a half time span. I dropped off all their schedules and they never returned my calls when I tried to get back on the schedules."

"Colton did a great job with welding up my dump trailer. Overtime it developed some issues and without hesitation, he came and picked up my dump trailer for me and immediately got to work and got it back to need fixed as I requested within about a day and a half."

As a local member of the community, I have been in the construction industry for just over 10 years. With experience ranging from general construction needs, to light electrical, and plumbing I have the knowledge it takes to complete a job on time and with excellent quality. \n\nWhy pay more for a large contractor to provide you a simple service when you can save money and have some peace of mind knowing a local member of the community is taking care of your needs and providing exactly what you need.

"Totally Excellent! Jon and the Crew at ERE flattened out about a 1 acre square of my property (future building site) Perfectly! And it was a gnarly pit to start with full of boulders and old items like water heaters and car fenders as it was evidently a dump site for the neighborhood before I got here. Finished the project quickly and to my complete satisfaction, I recommend ERE to Everyone for your next Excavation project, big or small Jon can handle em All!"

"I honestly cannot say enough good things about ERE! We were having some drainage issues in our backyard, and were worried about the integrity of our foundation. Jon contacted me within a day of my search and set up a consultation a few days later. He was super knowledgeable and understood what I wanted done, even when I couldnâ t exactly describe it. Jon was very thorough and kept me updated on everything he was going to be doing, and gave me several options when it came to budgeting and services. He and his team even went above and beyond by repairing the sprinkler lines that the previous owner had damage, at no extra cost. Our backyard now looks 100x better than before and we no longer have to worry about water draining towards our house & foundation. I will absolutely recommend ERE to everyone I know & will likely use them in the future for any of our landscaping needs!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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).

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.
