"Contractor gave a very positive review in regards to the quality of the dirt work & site preparation completed by J&J Dirt Service, LLC.

"I will be objective and rate Tim's services as a C. He did A quality work for us last year. He's a good guy and a hard worker. He mentioned several times last year that he did more than just mow lawns, so before mowing season this year, I offered him some handyman work we needed done...~$1,200.00 worth. Heard back once and when it came time to schedule, crickets. Then I told him we'd love him to start mowing soon and he set up an appointment for Monday (1 APR). No text, no call, no show. He will do good work for you if he responds or shows up for appointments. That is guaranteed. I personally don't have the patience for unprofessionalism though."

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.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

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

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
