"I hired Devin to weld a custom pipe fence for my backyard in Van, Texas, and he absolutely crushed it! From the first call to the finished product, Devin was professional, on time, and a true craftsman. He listened carefully to what I wanted, gave great suggestions, and the welding work is flawless—super strong, clean beads, and the fence looks amazing. It’s sturdy enough to keep the dogs in but still has that clean, modern look that fits the yard perfectly. He even cleaned up the site better than I expected and made sure everything was exactly right before he left. If you need any welding or fencing done, Devin is the guy to call. 100% recommend—five stars all the way! Thanks Devin!"

"Owner called the day before the job was to be done, just to make sure everything was going to go ahead as planned. We went over arrival time, job scope, material removal, etc. and cost. The crew arrived on time, ready to work and in a pleasant state of mind. Finished the job in just a couple of hours, well under what I expected! All debris was removed...every bit of it! I didn't see as much as a splinter of wood on the site! I don't know how they accomplished it, but they did! My only regret is that I don't have more work to give them! I'm very well pleased and will not hesitate to call them again should I have need of their services! I reccommend this group without question or hesitiation! Call them; you'll be glad you did!"

"Excellent Company, Excellent Service and Very Professional! We recently purchased a few acres and hired Mr. Scott to clear the land. His work was absolutely amazing and the final product far exceeded what we expected. We were always provided updates on the status of the project and he even worked on weekends to complete the clearing. We researched several other contractors for the project and Brushwacker Land Svs, by far, had excellent prices for clearing the land, grinding/removing stumps, and even completing a temporary driveway for our new home construction. We will definitely hire him in the future for landscaping projects. Brushwacker Land Services is a must!!"

"Excellent job! Mr. Hicks is very safety oriented and obviously has years of experience operating. From the excavation to the finishing touches and leveling the gravel, it could not have gone better. I will definitely be calling him again and I highly recommend him for whatever you’re needing from excavation, clearing, he even put in a new spillway and raised the water level on my pond. Thanks again sir."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

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.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.
