"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!!"

"Rick and his crew were especially polite, thoughtful, and caring while they moved us across town. They were careful with our furniture, our flooring (no scraping or marring of new wood floors), and our walls (no bumping into walls or doorways). They went the extra mile for us and worked until nearly midnight to finish the job. Very, very happy with this crew. Highly recommend C E Trucking and Movers."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

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. 

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.
