"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

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

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

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

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.
