"I hired Mr. Hagen and his team to clear a little over 10 acres and fix a pond dam for me. I am happy to say I was so pleased with the results. They were awesome at communicating and providing details and updates of the work they were doing. My land has never looked better!!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Ladder 5 Fencing and Land Clearing, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. They came out to help clear some trees, complete some road work, and build a privacy fence, and I’m extremely satisfied with the professionalism and quality of their work. Overall, I would highly recommend Ladder 5 Fencing and Land Clearing. Their team was punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to ensure everything was done to my satisfaction. I’ll definitely reach out to them again for any future projects."

"I needed a 40x40 area leveled and made ready for a shop. This guy worked his butt off to make it perfect. He tolerated me bird dogging him and didn’t seem to be bothered by it. Job got done faster than I thought it would, looks better than some other work I have seen, and if your like me and wonder where “customer service” has gone to in this new day and age we live in… Look no further, Dirty Works is old school when it comes to customer care service. I really feel like they put me first and really paid attention to my needs. Thank you guys. Keep up the good work. I’ll be calling again soon."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

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.

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.
