"Amazing service and quality construction. We were looking for a deck and outdoor kitchen combo that would maximize the space in our small yard. Hunter helped us personalize our space by building both and the final project turned out great. He was more than willing to accommodate our needs and worked with us to design a custom solution that involved multiple tiers, mounting two slides on the deck, and constructing an outdoor kitchen. It was awesome to have someone that could do everything we wanted."

"I am more than happy with the work done by TVO! The 3 workers did a beautiful job paving and installing the fire pit, even in the rain! They came when they said they would, much sooner than anyone else, and they were done by the end of the week! They cleaned up everything and reseeded the grass. Ty was wonderful crunching the numbers for us. He also came to the house every day while the work was being done, answering all questions and making sure the workers had everything they needed. I am already planning on hiring them again for another back yard project!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
