"They are a father and son team. They show up when they say they will. They are hard workers and know what they are doing. My backyard was a disaster, very uneven, full of rocks/boulders and had a really bad slope. I couldn't mow it with my mower. I had to weed wack it. I had them come in and grade,fill and put top soil down. It looks fantastic and is now mow able. They also did a driveway for me. They are very fair with pricing. I highly recommend them."

My name is Christian Hughes I am a proud owner of Good Ol’ Boys.\nWhen I first started the company I worked for many others over the course of many years and recognized countless mistakes that I have learned from. \nIf the service was good the communication wasn’t. If the work was done wrong the sell pitch was higher and so forth and so wrong! \nThe Good Ol’ Boys CO. Was founded due to people cutting corners and a couple of guys tired of seeing customers not getting what they deserved. \nWe do it right every time and the first time, because your time is valuable and so is ours. \nWe will always listen to the customer, give our advice and make sure everyone is happy at the end of the day. \nIf you ever need ANYTHING done Id Highly recommend to call us Good Ol’ Boys first, because if we can’t do it we know somebody that can. \nGod bless. Stay safe and have a wonderful day. \n-Christian Hughes Proud Owner Of Good Ol’ Boys CO.\n

"They were very friendly but were professional in their job. They worked slowly on removing the tree from my house making sure nothing was damaged. They cleaned up after themselves including putting grass seeds down and straw. I would most currently hire them again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

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.
