"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."

"Prompt, knowledgeable, and efficient!!! I was impressed that Legend Plumbing responded quickly to my water line repair. Their plumber arrives ahead of time and handles the service directly. It was only a short period that he was able to finish the job, and I was glad that the water line repair was done effectively. A truly dependable service."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

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.
