"We hired Caleb to remove mulch and fabric and do some basic clean up. He was extremely polite when he came to give us an estimate, and was on time and completed the job quickly. He also freely offered advice on things we could do. We would definitely hire him again."

"God did Bless us with Quality Landscaping, Mr. Bryan & Logan they both are Professional. We set a date & time. I mentioned that I hv Medical appt.’s and they worked around my schedule. Logan did not rush the job he explained what he was going to do., and to make sure the job was done correctly he was to come the next morning. Picked up behind his work. The next morning his Father came to finish the job. Excellent Communication Amen. I/We strongly recommend Quality Landscaping. Let’s keep the Love and it’s a local loyal family company. Repaced 6 post & repair chain link fence. May Quality Landscaping continue to get Blessing. I/We Highly Recommend this Company. ( they do exactly what they say they will do)."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

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. 

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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.
