"Ben and his crew did a GREAT job felling and removing 4 dead post oak trees from our property. He dug out the stumps versus grinding them, giving us a perfectly clean slate, was on time, pleasant to work with and did what he said he would do. The quote was very reasonable too. We are very happy with the work and would use BTJ again."

"Sure! Here’s a professional and positive review for a tree removal service—you can adjust the tone or add specifics (like company name, location, or type of tree) if you’d like: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Tree Removal Service! We hired this company for tree removal, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and clearly knew what they were doing. The crew worked quickly and safely, and they took great care to avoid damaging the surrounding property. Clean-up was thorough—by the time they left, you’d never know there was ever a tree there! Their pricing was fair, and communication was excellent throughout the process. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable tree removal."

"Over several years, QLC did a number of projects for us in California. These projects involved design services, concrete work (driveway and walkway), turf installation (sod and artificial turf), hydro-seeding, sprinkler system installation and maintenance, shrub and tree installations, gravel and rock placement, pergola design and installation, fencing, and brick work. There was no project that was too small or too big for them. We were consistently pleased with the excellent quality of their work and their attention to detail. They listened to us and their design (hardscape and planting) recommendations were on target withà  what we wanted. Their costs were reasonable and they always stood behind their work if there was an issue â  and there werenâ  t many. The well-trained crews were reliable, courteous, and communicated well."

"Exceptional professional service. I was skeptical this company could deliver all that they promised, as I was still smarting from a $10,500 chip seal done by another company that was a complete failure. They made a driveway 20' wide spanning to 40' wide and over 100' long. Also fixed 600' existing driveway. They also leveled pad site for the new home. Mr. Sardis Sr has over 40 years experience in building roads, and his son about 20 years. It shows in the quality of work. They own all equipment and trucks. I have NEVER seen a crew work harder. Quality caliche base from almost 100 miles away and pea sized millings. Each haul ranged 18 tons to 21 tons. Leveled a layer of base and sprayed with water. Then, a skid steer on rubber tracks compacted with a heavy roller. Another layer of base and more compacting. Then millings and compacting again. Mr. Sardis came back next day and rolled entire drive one more time. Left saying they would return to fix anything I wasn't happy about."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

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.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
