"Joseph and Matthew were punctual, professional, and a joy to work with! My property was in such disrepair and they made it look so beautiful! They trimmed my small trees, redid rock and garden beds, removed obstructive shrubs and so much more. I canâ t stop looking at how great it all looks! Joseph even noticed that I like to paint rocks and set aside one shaped like TN. I cannot praise this company highly enough and will absolutely send my friends to Joseph!"

"James Perry Construction promptly returned my call, answered questions, and was able to get the job done very quickly. Every one that we dealt with was kind and courteous and respectful. They did a great job of cleaning up after themselves. No debris, leftover concrete, paper cups or any other trash was left on the work site. Not only are our steps beautiful, James Perry Construction went the extra mile in placing our very heavy planters on the corner of the front step they built. I will definitely hire them again. I just wish we had found them before we built our home."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
