"We hired Chris to reactivate our irrigation system. We live on 2.5 acres so needless to say, we have a large system. We recently went through some renovation and some of the wires to our system were cut. He came out and reverse, engineered everything, and got all the wires up and running. He never gave up on the project and work day and night, literally, and even came out in the rain sometimes to work through the issues. I could not recommend him enough. He’s extremely honest and very hard-working. You will definitely be in great hands with him."

"Chris M. Is the best contractor I have ever hired and with whom I have had the privilege of working. He is extremely professional, polite, efficient, and honest. He came and removed all the junk and then some. I have already recommended him to several of my friends. I will definitely hire him again when the need arises. Thank you Chris for making such an overwhelming task manageable and bearable, maybe even pleasant. I look forward to working with you in the future. Oh and the price was so reasonable, better than I ever expected. Great job!"

"Phil did a great job! Easy to work with. This is the second time we have used Cut It Out and the completed job was just as we requested. They cleaned out 8 acres of rock and downed trees, shredded, and moved and leveled dirt. We highly recommend Phil and Out It Out for any land management project you might have."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.
