"Mr. Robert Taylor was the first person to work on our very raw and overgrown 3 acre property. His insightful direction on what things needed to be done, and in what order, was indispensable. He then did a great job clearing a fence line all around, and grading dirt and debris. We highly recommend Taylor Land Clearing and Dirt Work. And are confident you will find Mr. Taylor as responsive and pleasant to work with, as we did."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work Chris did for me! He did an incredible job on my landscaping—it looks beautiful and completely transformed my yard. On top of that, he also repaired a leak under my bathroom sink quickly and efficiently. Chris is not only skilled and knowledgeable in his work, but he’s also very personable and easy to talk to. He takes the time to explain things and makes sure everything is done right. Plus, he was right on time, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend Chris for any landscaping or home repair needs. He’s fantastic!"

I am 22 years old working full time and trying to get a business started on the side. Even though I am young I have lots of experience. I enjoy working I started painting with my family at 5 years old stuck with that for a while. Then went to another company and got more experience in a different trade. I am willing to travel my goal next year is to be near Dallas but will travel back and fourth still. If you need anything done don’t hesitate to reach out and we can meet, make a plan, agree on a price, and get it taken care of for you:) thank you for looking have a great day.

"I knew my road project was a challenge, so I searched and selected the right company to handle the job. I was not disappointed with my choice. I highly recommend ACP Equipment and Services for the following Customer Service reasons: Sarah and Cody promptly returned all phone calls. They followed-up with and never minimized any of my questions or concerns. Consistent communication with the same people allowed me to recognize their names, and view them as my highly reliable team. Drew shared his depth of knowledge, which assisted me by clarifying the ins and outs of the processes involved and the project expectations (meaning he identified and addressed my knowledge gaps so I would not expect something they could not deliver). Drew was so patient with me! The final project outcome met all expectations with high quality results. There was no over promise and under deliver. The project cost was very fair and competitive. Drew offered future recommendations and solutions to resolve issues that were not budgeted for in the initial project plan, and I appreciated the insight and will consider this in the future. Overall, I would hire ACP again in a heartbeat, because they are in the business of helping people. Nothing but praise from me."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

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.

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.
