I am 22 years old working full time and trying to get a business started on the side. Even though I am young I have lots of experience. I enjoy working I started painting with my family at 5 years old stuck with that for a while. Then went to another company and got more experience in a different trade. I am willing to travel my goal next year is to be near Dallas but will travel back and fourth still. If you need anything done don’t hesitate to reach out and we can meet, make a plan, agree on a price, and get it taken care of for you:) thank you for looking have a great day.

"I knew my road project was a challenge, so I searched and selected the right company to handle the job. I was not disappointed with my choice. I highly recommend ACP Equipment and Services for the following Customer Service reasons: Sarah and Cody promptly returned all phone calls. They followed-up with and never minimized any of my questions or concerns. Consistent communication with the same people allowed me to recognize their names, and view them as my highly reliable team. Drew shared his depth of knowledge, which assisted me by clarifying the ins and outs of the processes involved and the project expectations (meaning he identified and addressed my knowledge gaps so I would not expect something they could not deliver). Drew was so patient with me! The final project outcome met all expectations with high quality results. There was no over promise and under deliver. The project cost was very fair and competitive. Drew offered future recommendations and solutions to resolve issues that were not budgeted for in the initial project plan, and I appreciated the insight and will consider this in the future. Overall, I would hire ACP again in a heartbeat, because they are in the business of helping people. Nothing but praise from me."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
