"Felipe gave 100% effort to our backyard project - installing new limestone steps, re-sodding, adding a stone garden, planting and general seasonal clean-up. He made excellent suggestions and worked very hard to satisfy, despite our constant requests. Couldn't be happier with the results."

"GT did a great job on several clearing jobs for us. We had several large urban acreages of drainage that needed clear line of site and improved access for regular maintenance. Brandon was great to work with and priced appropriately. He was professional and executed to our expectations. I will hire him again in the future for similar projects."

"Martin and his crew did an exceptional job at a reasonable price. Always here by 8am and left by 4pm. Endured heat and a heavy work load. Patio, walkway, fire pit, seating area and columns. Highly recommended. Would love to post pictures. I handed Martin the picture and he and his crew went well beyond expectations. Very professional. Will have more work in the future for Martin and his team."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

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.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

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.
